Derby County head coach John Eustace said he is "delighted" for Richard O'Donnell following the veteran goalkeeper's performance in the Rams 1-2 win at Charlton Athletic.
O'Donnell, was a late change in the Derby lineup with usual number one Jacob Widell Zetterstrom taken out due to illness.
The 37-year-old's only minutes before Tuesday night this season was one match from a brief loan spell at Grimsby Town in November.
"I thought he [Richard O'Donnell] was excellent, full credit to him and the goalkeeping department," said Eustace to BBC Radio Derby.
"We've got four really good goalkeepers who are developing and learning all the time. The way they work, the way they drive the standards in training as a unit whenever any of them are called upon they certainly don't let us down.
"I'm delighted for Richard tonight because he's worked his socks off throughout the season without getting an opportunity.
"Tonight was his opportunity and I thought he was excellent."
