With Jason Knight departing Derby County for Bristol City earlier this summer in a £2 million deal, there are not many players left from the club’s torrid last two years in the Championship between 2020 and 2022.
One player who remains though is 22-year-old midfielder Max Bird – but for how long is anyone’s guess.
Bird played 43 times in all competitions last season and ahead of the 2023-24 League One campaign, the Rams academy graduate has been playing in a more advanced role to what he is used to playing.
Usually a holding midfielder, Bird has adapted during pre-season but could he be on the move before the September 1 transfer deadline?
Former Derby interim manager Liam Rosenior is keen to take Bird to Hull City of the Championship, with Derby turning down a bid earlier in the week that was described as ‘derisory’, per the Derby Telegraph, and it remains to be seen whether a fresh offer is made.
Having signed his last deal back in September 2020 before the start of the 2020-21 campaign, Bird is currently contracted to Derby until the end of the 2023-24 season.
