Curtis Davies joins Derby County


Gary Rowett has made his first signing as Derby boss with the capture of defender Curtis Davies from Sky Bet Championship rivals Hull for an undisclosed fee. 

The 32-year-old, a former West Brom, Aston Villa, Leicester and Birmingham player, has signed a two-year deal with the Rams following Hull's relegation from the Premier League. 

"I'm very excited," Davies told RamsTV. 

"I spent four years with Hull; four years that I really enjoyed through the highs and the lows. I felt, though, that it was time for a new challenge for myself.

"It was all very quick but, the opportunity to play for this manager in a team which is very strong, I believe it's a good opportunity for us as a team to get back into the Premier League.

"We've seen what Derby can do and I believe, under this manager for a full season, the squad that we've got is more than capable of promotion or at least the play-offs."
