Derby County captain Richard Keogh signs new three-year contract at iPro Stadium

Derby County captain and Republic of Ireland defender Richard Keogh signs a new three-year deal at the iPro Stadium until summer 2019.

Derby County captain Richard Keogh has signed a new three-year contract at the iPro Stadium.

The 30-year-old defender, who celebrated his birthday on Thursday, has made 200 appearances for the Rams since joining from Coventry City in 2012.

Derby boss Nigel Pearson told Derby's official website: "We're extremely pleased that Richard Keogh has signed a new contract with the club.

"He is an important player for us, both on and off the pitch, so it's great news that he has committed his future to Derby County for the next three years.

"As well as being an excellent defender he accepts responsibility on the pitch and that is why he was the natural choice to wear the captain's armband."

A Republic of Ireland international, Keogh made two appearances at Euro 2016 as Ireland reached the knockout stages.
