derby county manner Gary Rowett talks about why he signed Curtis Davies.Rowett said that the last time he watched him play at hull he really stood out to him
"The last time he played in the Championship he was in a team (Hull) that conceded only 35 goals,"
"I have watched lots of games in which in the last five or 10 minutes of the game he is the one heading it out of the box and leading the team to squeeze."
Rowett said Davies is the best defender out of all of the options out there available to Derby and the player ticks a lot of boxes.
"Out of all of the targets I look at Curtis in terms of offering experience in a position where experience is vital, and in reading of the game and knowledge of the game," Rowett added.
"He has been playing regular games at a high level - the last three of his four seasons have been in the Premier League.
"He played 25 games last season and probably would have played more but for injury.
"For me, he was the best defender out of all the options I felt were available.
"He just gives you lots of different attributes that will complement some of the players we have got in the squad.
"He has the attributes we are looking for. He has been a natural captain at every club virtually he has been."
