Australian cleared to play for Derby

Derby have finally received international clearance for January signing Mile Sterjovski.

The 28-year-old Australian joined the Rams from Turkish club Genclerbirligi OFTAS for an undisclosed sum last month after winning a work permit appeal.

However, a delay in the paperwork delayed his appearance for the club but clearance was received today and he is now available for Saturday’s match against Tottenham.
