Joe Wildsmith did not agree to sign a new contract at Pride Park after a season where he won the League One golden glove for the Rams.
He made a lot of impressive saves and managed to help Derby to a second place finish and promotion to the Championship.
However he didn’t sign a contract extension due to the fact that Paul Warne was making a goalkeeper competition between him and Josh Vickers - Wildsmith wanted job security.
All this means that the Rams will need to add another goalkeeper before the start of the new season that can help them compete in the Championship.
Here are five keepers that Paul Warne could make a move for to replace Wildsmith.
