Derby County have signed former Manchester City defender Kwaku Oduroh.

The 19-year-old was released by City at the end of last season and has now signed a two-year deal with the Rams.

"I am absolutely delighted with the signing," manager Liam Rosenior. "Kwaku had interest from Premier League teams but chose to come here. I want players who want to be here.

"Why we were really interested in Kwaku is that he has been a captain of Manchester City's youth teams. He is very highly respected there in terms of his character.

"But also in the style of play that I want to implement here is quite similar, structurally, to the way Manchester City play. Kwaku with his understanding and his development brings a lot of experience in terms of what I am asking the players to do here.

"He fits in like a glove in terms of that right-back position. When we talk about developing players, that area is somewhere I want to strengthen with a more senior player, but the idea for Kwaku is to develop, learn and grow and become of huge value to the football club. I am delighted he has joined."
