Green to quit Rams

Republic of Ireland international Paul Green will leave Derby County on a free transfer in the summer after rejecting a new contract offer.

Green had been in talks with the Rams for several weeks.

“We made him an offer last week, which we feel was a fair one taking a number of factors into consideration, but unfortunately he has informed us that he won’t be signing,” said Derby manager Nigel Clough. “There is no malice from anyone at the club against Paul, he is a great lad and a very popular member of the squad.”
