| | Derby County have given us a guided tour of their almost-finished training complex in Oakwood.
Take a look at our exclusive pictures from Moor Farm. |
| | | Next season will see Derby County's players move from their old training ground at Raynesway in Spondon to a new purpose-built complex in Oakwood.
'Moor Farm' is nearing completion and will be ready for pre-season training in July.
Built at a cost of £5 million, the new complex covers 50 acres and features six full-sized training pitches plus an indoor pitch.
It also boasts a gym, restaurant, prozone room and a laundry.

Chairman Lionel Pickering described the new set-up as 'impressive'.
He said: "I believe that Derby County's future is now so assured that we can say at least eight players from the Academy will be in the first-team within three years.
"That's going to continue and the Academy will be producing 20-25 players over the next few years so the £5 million investment in the Academy will be quickly paid for and will continue to make Derby County self-sufficient.
"I can assure you that Derby County will not need to get in any more debt."
