admin“He’s got a huge role to play in this Derby County side”: Derby County player lauded by Sky Sports man Simeon Gholam.
Derby County signed the striker over the summer and he has since made a positive impression with the Championship side.
Derby County striker Carlton Morris will play a ‘key part’ if the Rams are to be successful for the rest of the season, says Sky Sports‘ Simeon Gholam.
Derby County signed the attacker in the last transfer window. DCFC landed him from Luton Town and gave him a three-year deal at Pride Park running until June 2028.
Morris, 29, has since caught the eye for the Rams under the guidance of John Eustace. He has scored 10 goals so far this season and is joint-top scorer in the Championship along with Brandon Thomas-Asante at Coventry City.
He has been named in Gholam’s Team of the Season so far and he has explained the reason why, as per a report by Sky Sports: “He’s got that physical presence, the ability to find the back of the net, he can occupy a defence pretty much on his own at times, given his physical capabilities, and he could be a key part in how successful Derby are this season.”
Derby County are sat in 10th place in the table after their first 15 fixtures. They are only two points off the play-offs.
The Rams will be in confident mood at the moment. They have won their last five matches on the spin against Norwich City, QPR, Sheffield United, Hull City and Blackburn Rovers.
Derby County latest regarding Carlton Morris
Derby County’s decision to bring in Morris has turned out to be a masterstroke. DCFC secured his services to add more firepower to their attacking department.
Prior to his switch to the Rams, he spent three years at Luton Town. He scored 39 goals in 137 games for the Hatters, eight of which came in the last campaign as they were relegated to League One along with Plymouth Argyle and Cardiff City
Morris started his career at Norwich City and rose up through their academy ranks. He was loaned out by the Canaries to the likes of Oxford United, Rotherham United, Shrewsbury Town and MK Dons to get some experience under his belt and boost his development.
Barnsley then came calling on a permanent basis and he found the net on 16 occasions in 55 outings for the Tykes. Luton Town subsequently swooped in but he nows finds himself at Derby County and is enjoying himself.
What now for Derby County?
Derby County are back in action next weekend with a home clash against Watford as they look to keep their momentum going. DCFC head into that one against the Hornets in search of their sixth win on the bounce.
Eustace’s men then see out November with clashes against Swansea City and Middlesbrough on their travels. They won 2-1 away at Blackburn Rovers last time out.
Morris managed to get himself on the scoresheet in Lancashire. Meanwhile, Patrick Agyemang also scored.
Derby County turned to Eustace back in February after their decision to sack Paul Warne, who is now at MK Dons. He left Blackburn Rovers to take on a new challenge.
