Derby County can confirm that Jamie Paterson will return to parent club Bristol City at the beginning of the January Transfer Window.


The 28-year-old attacker joined the Rams from their Sky Bet Championship rivals on a season-long loan deal back in August.

There was, however, an option within the agreement whereby Paterson could return to Ashton Gate in January and that clause has been activated.

Paterson made 12 appearances in all competitions for the Rams and scored once.

Derby County would like to thank Jamie for his efforts and wish him well for the future.
