Derby County goalkeeper Kelle Roos has taken to Twitter with a message for the Rams fanbase after signing a contract extension at Pride Park.

The Dutchman, who was due to be out of contract at the end of June, has now committed to the East Midlands outfit until the end of the 2021-22 season.

Roos joined Derby from non-league outfit Nuneaton in January 2014 and, despite being one of the club’s longest-serving players, has largely had to bide his time before making his breakthrough.

He only made his league debut for the Rams in January after Scott Carson picked up an injury early in the New Year but he has gone on to make 24 appearances for the club in all competitions according to Transfermarkt.

The 27-year-old has spent time on loan at a number of clubs while on Derby’s books including Rotherham United, AFC Wimbledon, Bristol Rovers, Port Vale and Plymouth Argyle, but will now be hoping to continue as the Rams’ number one into the new season.

Here is Roos’ tweet thanking the Derby fans for their support and looking forward to the 2019-20 campaign:
