Former Wycombe goalkeeper Ryan Allsop has joined Derby County on a free transfer.

The 29-year-old, who departed Adams Park as a free agent in the summer, has joined Wayne Rooney’s men on a one-year contract following a short trial period with the club.

Coincidently, Allsop’s final appearance for the Chairboys was against Derby back in February, with County defeating Wanderers 2-1 at Adams Park thanks to an Andre Wisdom winner in stoppage-time.

Speaking to Rams TV, he said: “I’m really excited.

“As soon as I got the phone call which registered interest, it was a no-brainer for me.

“I live in Birmingham so it’s a local one and this is massive.

"The set-up here's unbelievable, so it was a no-brainer.

He also revealed that the opportunity to work under Wayne Rooney also played a part in signing for the Rams.

Overall, he played 129 matches for Wycombe across two spells.

He first joined the club in the second-half of the 2015/16 season, where he played 18 times as Wanderers finished 13th in League Two.

Two-and-a-half years later, Allsop re-signed for the Chairboys in the summer of 2018 and played 111 times in the next three seasons, before being dropped in February 2021 for David Stockdale, who would subsequently take the number one spot at Adams Park.

Allsop has been given the number 31 shirt at Derby.
