Kemar Roofe Joins Derby County: A New Chapter for the Experienced Striker

Derby County signs former Rangers and Leeds United striker Kemar Roofe, aiming to boost their Championship campaign.

A New Beginning for Kemar Roofe

Derby County has officially announced the signing of Kemar Roofe, the former Rangers and Leeds United striker. This move comes as a significant boost for Derby, who are currently struggling in the Championship relegation zone.

Roofe's Journey So Far

Roofe, aged 32, has been a free agent since his release from Rangers last summer. His career has seen him play for several high-profile clubs, including a stint in Belgium with Anderlecht. During his time with Rangers, Roofe won the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup, and League Cup, showcasing his talent and experience.

A Fresh Start under John Eustace

This signing marks the first acquisition under new Derby boss John Eustace. Roofe expressed his excitement about joining the club and is eager to contribute to the team's success. "I'm here now and I'm excited to get going," Roofe told the club website.

What This Means for Derby County

Derby County has managed to score only four goals in their last 10 league games, a statistic they hope Roofe can help improve. His experience and goal-scoring ability could be the catalyst needed to turn their season around.

Looking Ahead

Roofe joins with the mission to help Derby climb out of the relegation places and secure their Championship status. His first competitive match after a nine-month hiatus will be highly anticipated by both fans and pundits alike.

Key Stats

  • Age: 32
