Ahead of the 2010/11 season, Queens Park Rangers decided to bolster their midfield options by swooping for Shaun Derry.
This turned out to be a shrewd move by R's boss Neil Warnock as Derry went on to become an ever-present in their side during this particular campaign.
The defensive midfielder helped QPR secure promotion to the Premier League by making 45 league appearances for the club.
In the following term, Derry was utilised on 29 occasions by QPR in the top-flight as they narrowly avoided relegation.
Derry only played 18 games in what turned out to be his final full season at Loftus Road as the R's finished bottom of the Premier League standings.
Here, we have decided to take a look at how Derry has been getting on since leaving QPR...
Derry was loaned out to Millwall on a short-term deal in August 2013 and went on to feature on seven occasions for the club before returning to QPR.
The former Crystal Palace man then decided to leave Loftus Road in order to become Notts County's manager.
During his time in charge of the Magpies, Derry managed to guide the club to safety in League One in 2014 as the club won six of their last nine league games.
Notts County opted to part ways with Derry in 2015 following a poor run of results.
Appointed as Cambridge United's new boss later that year, Derry oversaw 122 games before parting ways with the club in 2018.
Derry worked as an assistant manager for Oxford United before taking charge of Crystal Palace's Under-21 team.
The 44-year-old joined the first-team coaching setup at Selhurst Park last year and is currently working alongside manager Patrick Vieira.
Palace's players have benefitted from the guidance of this aforementioned duo in their recent fixtures as the club have won three of their last five league games.
The Eagles, who are currently 11th in the Premier League standings, are set to make their return to competitive action on Boxing Day when they face Fulham.
