John Eustace responds after Derby County complete transfer

Derby County manager John Eustace has welcomed the signing of free agent defender Shane Duffy on a short-term deal running until January. The former Republic of Ireland international had been training with Derby for two weeks after being released by Norwich City in the summer. Duffy could make his debut against Millwall as Derby deal with multiple injuries across their defensive line.

Eustace praised Duffy's experience, leadership, and aerial ability, noting that the squad has missed a strong presence at set-pieces following an injury to defender Matt Clarke. The manager stated that Duffy will be given time over the next few weeks to reach full match fitness while aiding the squad on and off the pitch.
