Derby County will be determined to make a positive start to the 2022/23 campaign under the guidance of interim manager Liam Rosenior.

Since the completion of David Clowes' takeover deal, the Rams have managed to draft in a host of players as they prepare for life in the League One.

Korey Smith became Derby's 11th signing of the summer transfer window on Saturday as he signed a two-year deal at Pride Park.

The Rams could potentially decide to add some more fresh faces to their squad ahead of their upcoming clash with Oxford United.

Set to face the U's on July 30th, it will be intriguing to see who is given the nod to start in this fixture for Derby by Rosenior.
