Ben Radcliffe

Midfielder Ben Radcliffe joined Derby County’s Under-21s squad from Burton Albion in the summer of 2023.

Radcliffe, previously with the Rams as a schoolboy, made the move into senior football with the Brewers after linking up with their youth set-up and spent time on loan at non-league side Mickleover FC to gain experience in the 2021/22 season.

He continued his education at Banbury United of National League North in 2022/23 and made his senior bow in professional football for Burton off the bench in League One at the end of the campaign.

Radcliffe featured for Derby’s first team on a number of occasions ahead of the 2023/24 season and scored in a 2-0 friendly win at Matlock Town.

The midfielder suffered a long-term hamstring injury early in 2023/24 which limited him to just seven appearances in Premier League 2.

He also appeared once for Paul Warne's first team in the EFL Trophy during the course of the campaign.
