‘Beautiful’: Derby County prospect rediscovering dangerous best in League Two after challenging 2025/26 season

Derby County forward Dajaune Brown is finding his form while on loan at League Two club Rochdale. After going scoreless in his first six appearances, the 20-year-old striker registered three goal contributions across back-to-back victories, including scoring in a 2-0 win over Oldham Athletic and adding a goal and an assist in a 2-1 triumph against Fleetwood Town.

Following a difficult spell last season at Port Vale, Brown joined Rochdale on a season-long loan during the summer. Rochdale manager Watson praised Brown's recent performance as a beautiful goal that will boost his confidence, with writer James Ray noting that Brown enters an important season ahead of his contract expiring with Derby County.
