Derby County are delighted to confirm the signing of Steve Davies on a 3 year contract from Tranmere Rovers.

The club has made an offer to Tranmere for the 20 year old forward, however that has been rejected. Davies is out of contract but under the age of 24, so subject to a tribunal if a fee cannot be agreed.

Derby County hope to continue negotiations with the League One club, however, the players registration will be confirmed and the transfer completed by tribunal if necessary.

Davies is the Rams 7th capture of the close season, maintaining Derby County's status as the most pro-active club in the transfer market. He joins fellow new signings Ruben Zadkovich, Paul Connolly, Nathan Ellington, Jordan Stewart, Paul Green and Kris Commons.

Steve Davies will join up with the rest of the Derby County squad when pre-season training begins on the 27th June.
