Position: Goalkeeper

Goalkeeper Saul joined Derby in the summer of 2009 - teaming up with his former Manager Nigel Clough at Pride Park.

The former Republic of Ireland U21 International has previous Football League experience with Notts County and provides competition and cover for Stephen Bywater.

After signing professional forms with County in 2001, Deeney had to wait until March 2003 to make his debut in a 3-2 win over Huddersfield Town at Meadow Lane, after loan spells at Hull City, Ilkeston Town and Gresley Rovers.

After joining Burton in 2005 he featured in the Brewers' run to the third round of the FA Cup, where they held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw at the Pirelli Stadium before losing the replay at Old Trafford.

Saul made a dramatic return to Meadow Lane in 2006 but was unable to force the experienced Kevin Pilkington out of the team and he returned to Burton a year later and he helped play a significant part in their promotion to the Football League before opting to join the Rams.

His Derby County debut was one to forget. At Reading in March 2010, he replaced the injured Bywater early on but after bringing down a Royals forward clear on goal he was dismissed, less than half an hour after entering the field of play.

He finally got the chance for a run in the side in the final two games of the season, keeping a clean sheet against Cardiff City on the final day of the campaign.
