Midfielder David Ozoh has returned to Derby County on a season-long loan deal from Premier League side Crystal Palace.
Ozoh spent the 2024/25 campaign with the Rams on a similar agreement from the Eagles.
After enjoying the early stages of the current pre-season with the Palace first-team squad, he will now spend the duration of the 2025/26 season with the Rams.
He is the seventh addition to Head Coach John Eustace’s squad ahead of the upcoming 2025/26 Sky Bet Championship campaign.
Ozoh made 12 appearances during his time at Pride Park Stadium last term, which was unfortunately impacted due to injury, but he certainly caught the eye with some impressive displays.
The 20-year-old began last season in fine form and scored his first-ever career goal in a 3-0 home win over Bristol City last August, having also found the net in a pre-season friendly against Spanish side Real Valladolid a few weeks beforehand.
Ozoh, who was born in Spain, is an England youth international.
The Crystal Palace Academy graduate played 12 times for Palace in the 2023/24 season, with nine coming in the Premier League.
Welcome back to Derby, David!
