Derby County have announced that England’s record goal-scorer Wayne Rooney will join the club from January 2020.

The 33-year-old will arrive from Major League Soccer outfit DC United on an initial 18-month contract until the summer of 2021, with the option of a further year.

As well as penning a playing contract with Derby, Rooney will join the club as a coach and continue to develop his coaching credentials in preparation for a potential managerial career.

Rooney, who scored 53 times in 120 appearances for his country, is signing for Derby having won an incredible 16 honours in club football to date.

With over 700 appearances and 300 goals to his name in club football, including a record 253 for Manchester United, Rooney is one of the biggest and most recognisable names in world football.

As well as displaying his undoubted footballing quality on the pitch, Rooney has also demonstrated his leadership skills by wearing the captain’s armband for both club and country.

Rooney, who will be assigned squad number 32 once he joins the Rams, will see out the 2019 MLS season with DC United before returning to the UK.

CR 7 senior am self.. life is what you wanna do..... and how disciplined you are to follow through.. indomie generation retiring.from football at age 27 and 29 and 31 like Odion Ighalo, and Mikel Obi.. when Roger Milla, Karl Heinz-Rummenigge, Latol etc (Cameroun, Germany, Poland) actually had their best playing years of their careers in their late 30's and early 40's.

Laziness is a major issue in this current generation... thanks CR7 for keeping fit and setting great standards that old age is a choice!

Nice one.

Amazing footballer... Wish him greater heights. Ferguson truly raised leaders... I pray Soljkaer replicates that standard in United this season.
