Returning forward Darren Bent sat down for an in-depth interview with our official matchday programme ahead of this weekend’s meeting with Burton Albion.


The 33-year-old took time out to talk through his return to fitness, his goalscoring career, his relationship with Fabio Capello and his recent media work amongst a number of other topics.

Jam-packed with more exclusive features and content, supporters, as ever, can purchase a copy of our award-winning official matchday programme, which retails at just £3 from all around Pride Park Stadium.

On top of that, here’s what else you can expect from our #DCFCvBAFC edition of The Ram…
