Derby defender Forsyth signs new two-year deal

Craig Forsyth scored three goals in 42 appearances for Derby last season

Craig Forsyth has signed a new two-year deal with Derby County, which will keep the defender at the Rams for a 14th season and see him play for them beyond his 38th birthday.

The Scot has made 382 appearances in 12 years with the East Midlands club.

Forsyth initially moved to Pride Park on loan from Watford in March 2013 before making the switch permanent later that year.

Forsyth was a team-mate of Derby manager John Eustace a decade ago.

He was praised as an "unbelievable servant" of the club by Eustace at the end of the season after making 42 appearances as they avoided relegation from the Championship on the final day.

The new contract for the former Scotland international means his career will span more than 20 years, having made his professional debut for Dundee in November 2006.

Derby said the latest deal with the club would see them support him in getting his coaching qualifications.
