The visit of Barnsley to Pride Park on January 2 has been pencilled in for Wayne Rooney's debut.

Wayne Rooney has admitted his frustration at not being able to play for Derby.

The former Manchester United and England captain is unable to make his debut for the Rams until January, after signing an 18-month contract following his departure from Major League Soccer side DC United.

The visit of Barnsley to Pride Park on January 2 has been pencilled in for Rooney and he insists he is ready.

“It’s obviously frustrating training throughout the week and not being able to play,” said the 34-year-old.

“The last few weeks have been good to get to know the players and the staff,” he said.

“Everyone has been fantastic with me since I arrived, right across the training ground. I feel really settled in here and, as I say, I’m ready to go now.

“The manager has been great with me. I’ve been training with the players and then having a bit of input with the manager and the coaching staff off the training pitches.

“I’ve been in meetings and given my opinion on different things and it’s great to work with and learn from someone like Phillip Cocu.

“It’s a great opportunity for me to continue to play and also have one foot in the other side of it. I am sure it will only benefit me.”
