New Derby County boss Lampard delighted with Morris commitment

New Derby County boss Frank Lampard is delighted to name Jody Morris as his No2.

Morris has been tempted away from the youth setup at Chelsea.

Lampard wants to lean on that expertise and sees Morris as crucial to Derby's new blueprint to promote homegrown ahead of expensive recruits.

“Jody has been hugely successful with Chelsea's youth team and he has won everything there is to win in the last few years," said Lampard, who played alongside Morris at Stamford Bridge.

“He is great at developing young players and that is something we are really going to look to do here. I am delighted to have him on board.

“I have known him for so long now and his qualities and personality will bring so much to this club."
