Derby County defender Scott Malone will spend the 2020/21 season out on loan.


The 29-year-old has linked up with the Rams’ fellow Sky Bet Championship rivals Millwall for the duration of the campaign.

Under the terms of the loan agreement, Malone will not be eligible for the Lions fixtures against Derby during the season.

Malone found his first-team opportunities limited in the second half of the 2019/20 season and was restricted to three brief outings off the bench from the beginning of January onwards.

The left-back, who moved to Derby from Huddersfield Town in the summer of 2018, has made 56 appearances for the club in total and scored three times.
