Robbie joined the Rams in January 2008 from Blackburn Rovers for a fee in the region of £1.5m.
Wrexham-born Savage was a trainee at Manchester United before moving to Crewe Alexandra, and he made his name at Leicester City with five seasons in the Premier League from 1997 to 2002.
He remained in the top-flight with Birmingham City, upon the Foxes' relegation, before joining Blackburn in January 2005.
Savage, who has commanded transfer fees of over £6m during his career, made 487 club appearances, and scored 34 goals, before his move to the Rams.
He had a loan spell in League 1 with Brighton & Hove Albion in November 2008 but he returned to Pride Park and fought his way back into the picture at the start of 2009 before taking his chance with a series of impressive performances.
And he found the back of the net for the first time in Derby colours on the Friday night trip to Doncaster Rovers in February 2009 with a delightful curling free-kick.
The midfielder celebrated a complete turnaround in his Rams career by signing a new contract in August 2009, taking him up to 2011.
