32 year old Defender Curtis Davies who was Manager Gary Rowett's first signing this summer admits that the decision to leave Hull City after four years was a tough one to make . Davies also went on to say that he can not wait for the new season to kick off and to show the ram fans what he can do .
The Rams only had to pay £500,000 for the inform defender because they took advantage of a buy-out clause in Davies' contract.. the 32 year old will be in contact with Derby county until he is 34 years old ..
Curtis Davies took part in a interview with the Hill Daily Mail and when he was asked why he left he said the following :
"It wasn't an easy decision," "I'd be silly to say otherwise. But I had been considering my future from the point where I wasn't playing at the back end of last season. After relegation the opportunity came up to move to Derby and it was a chance I wanted to explore.
"It's been a weird feeling over the past few weeks"
"But coming back to training this week, the realisation has kicked in that I'm a Derby player now. This feels like the fresh start I needed.
"I just felt it was time for me to move on to get myself going again. I wanted to make sure I didn't go stale.
"When the opportunity came up at Derby, looking at the squad they've already got and a manager (Rowett) I've heard a lot of good things about, I thought it was a good opportunity to start again.
"I had a buy-out clause which they knew about and a bid was made to match it. That was it. There was no attempt to stop me from going. That's one of those things. It suited me as well. Four years is a long time and it was important for me to get a kick up the backside to go again."
