Kemar Roofe: Derby County sign ex-Rangers and Leeds striker

Roofe, who had a season in Belgium with Anderlecht between his time at Leeds and Rangers, has not featured in a competitive match for more than nine months.

He was released after four years with Rangers, a club where he won the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and League Cup.

The forward says he has worked hard while waiting for an opportunity to restart his career.

“It was down to mental strength, to get through what I needed to get through,” he said.

Roofe joins a Derby side that are in the Championship relegation places and who have managed to score just four goals in a 10-game winless league run dating back to late December.
