The Rams attacker has endured a difficult few years but things are looking up for him.
Derby County attacker Mason Bennett has endured a tough spell over the past few years due to injuries but things have been picking up for the 22-year-old.
His first league start for the Rams, at Brentford in September 2017, saw him have to come off after just 12 minutes on the clock.
Later on last season, on loan at League Two Notts County, Bennett impressed with a debut goal but picked up a season-ending injury in just his second game with the Magpies.
