Derby defender Max Lowe has signed a new long-term contract

Derby defender Max Lowe has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

The academy product, who joined the Rams aged 10, has put pen to paper on a deal until the summer of 2020.

It caps a memorable week for the 19-year-old left-back after he made his full league debut for Derby in their win at Cardiff this week.

"I am delighted to have signed this new contract with Derby County," Lowe told the club's official website. "I am so proud to represent this club and I know that the hard work very much starts now for me.

"I really hope, having made my league debut and also signing this new contract, that this is just the start for me and I know that I still have lots to learn as a player.

"It has been a great journey for me to get to this stage, having joined at the age of 10, but I know I've not achieved anything yet and I'll continue to work extremely hard.

"I believe this is the best place for me and Derby County has a proven track record of developing young players from the academy and integrating them into the first-team."

Lowe signed a professional contract in the summer of 2015, after completing two years as a scholar, and has been capped by England at various youth levels and is a current Under-20 international

He made his senior debut in last month during Derby's EFL Cup tie against Carlisle and also came off the bench against Liverpool in the same competition this month.
