Derby County Under-23s forward Offrande Zanzala has joined Sky Bet League 2 promotion-chasers Accrington Stanley on loan until the end of the season.


Undertaking the third temporary spell of his career, the 21-year-old has linked up with John Coleman’s side to further his first team experience, having already gained exposure with Stevenage and Chester.

Zanzala could now make his Stanley debut on Saturday when they travel to take on Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road.

Accrington travel sitting just outside of the automatic promotion positions and Zanzala’s switch now means he is one of six of the Rams’ up and coming players to link up with EFL teams to play first team football.

Kellan Gordon, Timi Max Elsnik (both Swindon Town), Max Lowe, (Shrewsbury Town), Charles Vernam (Grimsby Town) and Emil Riis Jakobsen (VVV-Venlo_ are also out on loan until the end of the campaign.

Derby County would like to wish Offrande all the best with his loan spell.
