It has taken a while but just as I stepped out of the office for an hour Derby County eventually ground out a transfer deal acceptable to Huddersfield Town, for their 25-year-old Midfielder and Player of last season Jacob Butterfield.
Butterfield will join the Rams on a four year deal and a price of £4m will add ons.
Butterfield has played 50 times for Huddersfield and scoring 7 goals in that time. It is now hopped he can link the Rams back line and offense and get Derby County's season back on track after a stuttering start to the campaign.
