Grant, 31, has recently regained his place in the side following a spell on the sidelines earlier this season and is a vital member of the Rams’ squad.

County boss Steve McClaren told the club website: “We’re pleased that Lee Grant has signed a new contract with the club.

“He is a very important part of the framework of our side, not just as a goalkeeper keeping the ball out of the net but in terms of starting moves from the back.

“He has been in outstanding form throughout our time at the club and off the field he plays an important role as a senior player.”
