Derby County has not loaned out any players this summer despite parting ways with seven players following their promotion. So far, the club has retained all its promising young talents. Last season, Derby sent ten players out on loan, with Dajaune Brown’s spell at Gateshead standing out. Brown scored 10 goals in 20 matches, including a crucial equalizer in the FA Trophy final, drawing significant interest for the upcoming season.

Manager Paul Warne has commented on Brown’s future, expressing no rush to send him out on loan again. Warne said, “I get at least one phone call about him a day from clubs wanting to sign him. I’m in no rush to let him go, but I also don’t want to hinder his progress. Derby comes before a player, so he’s staying within the camp for now.”

Warne added, “If he’s the best striker in the building, I’d be stupid not to play him. But he’s got a long way to go.” Brown, who showed great potential at Gateshead, could see his playing time with the senior squad limited by new signings Kayden Jackson and Jerry Yates.

Despite possible opportunities due to injuries or cup matches, it may be more beneficial for Brown to go on another loan spell to continue his development. A loan to a higher-tier club could provide him with valuable experience, with the option for Derby to recall him if needed. Bringing him back into the senior squad next year might be more effective.
