Derby County have added Rohan Luthra to their goalkeeping department following a spell training with the squad.


Luthra, who is 22, has joined the Rams on a one-year contract which will run for the 2024/25 season.

The shot-stopper, previously on the books of Crystal Palace and Cardiff City, joined Paul Warne’s squad on their pre-season training camp in Spain last month and came off the bench in the side’s friendly victory over Stockport County.


Luthra remained in training with Derby’s squad, under the watchful eye of Goalkeeping Coach Andy Warrington, at Moor Farm upon their return home and remained part of the matchday squad for the Rams’ remaining pre-season friendlies ahead of the new campaign.

The goalkeeper has joined in a role previously occupied by Scott Loach, who retired in the summer at the end of his contract and has now taken up a coaching position in the club’s Academy set-up.
