Derbyshire are on the verge of signing two more new players ahead of the 2008 season, reports BBC Radio Derby.

The duo, one batsman and one bowler, would both be signed as Kolpak players, and would be available for the majority of the season.

One is a former international, the other is considered a rising star.

The Kolpak ruling allows citizens of countries with associate agreements with the European Union to not be considered as overseas players.
