Curtis Davies pens message to Derby County supporters after earning player of the year award

Curtis Davies has taken to Twitter to thank Derby County’s fans for the support that they have illustrated this season after being named as the club’s Player of the Season last night.

The defender has been an ever-present in the Rams’ side during the current campaign as he has managed to feature in all 45 of their league fixtures.

Despite producing a great effort in their quest to avoid the drop, Derby were unable to overcome the 21 point deduction that they received as they suffered relegation to the third-tier last month.

The Rams will be hoping to end the 2021/22 campaign on a positive note on Saturday when they face Cardiff City.

Having secured a 2-0 victory over Blackpool last weekend, Derby may fancy their chances of defeating a Bluebirds outfit who have failed to win any of their last five league games.

Davies is expected to line up alongside Eiran Cashin, who scored his first senior goal against the Seasiders, in the heart of defence at Pride Park.

Reflecting on the fact that he was named as the club’s stand-out performer this season, Davies has admitted on Twitter that he is delighted to be placed on the winners list alongside some of Derby’s legends.

The defender posted: “Delighted to have won the Jack Stamps Player Of The Year.

“Especially being placed on the winners list among some club legends.

“Thanks for the support this season.

“The team and I couldn’t have pushed as hard as we did without it.

“See you all on Saturday.”
