Derby County to offer Ravel Morrison a contract

Derby County are set to offer a contract to Ravel Morrison, according to The Telegraph reporter John Percy on Twitter (see tweet below).

Derby County are poised to hand the midfielder an opportunity for next season.

Morrison, who is 28-years-old, has been a free agent since leaving Dutch side ADO Den Haag in January and has been on trial with the Championship side recently.

Derby boss Wayne Rooney knows all about Morrison from their time at Manchester United together.

Morrison spent three years under contract with the Hammers but had loan spells away from the London club at Birmingham City, QPR and Cardiff City during his time at Upton Park.

Lazio swooped to sign him five years ago and he played eight times for the Serie A side before returning to QPR on loan again during the 2016/17 season.

Morrison needs to find a permanent home and Derby are set to offer him a contract now.

There is no doubt that Morrison is a quality player at Championship level and Rooney will be hoping he can get the best out of him next season.
