Former Rangers striker Martyn Waghorn completes move to Derby County from Ipswich on three-year deal


MARTYN WAGHORN has completed his move to Derby County from Ipswich. The former Rangers man fired 16 goals in all competitions as he impressed in his debut campaign for the Tractor Boys. Waghorn has completed his £7m move to DerbyREUTERS His form attracted interest from a number of clubs. But it’s Frank Lampard’s men who have won the race for the hitman, who has penned a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. It’s understood the Light Blues will receive a cut of the fee banked by the English side – believed to be around ten per cent. Derby kicked off their Championship campaign with a late 2-1 win over Reading last Friday.
