Michael Keane eyes promotion with Derby County

Michael Keane says that he wants to use his playoff experience with Leicester City to help Derby County win promotion this season.

Derby County defender Michael Keane has said that he wants to use his Championship playoff experience with Leicester City last season to help his current side win promotion this term.

The on-loan Manchester United player made 27 appearances for Leicester last season as the Foxes reached the playoff semi-finals, where they were beaten by Watford.

Keane will face Leicester on Friday evening when Derby travel to the King Power Stadium.

"It's good experience for me to have been here and done this before," Clubcall.com quotes Keane as saying.

"I've played in big games that mean a lot. I've been in this position before and the pressure the team comes under increases each week, to be honest. But I think I can help the team out.

"I'm really enjoying my time here at Derby, as I did at Leicester. I'm really looking forward to the game. I had a great time there last season. I've still got some friends there."

Keane has made seven appearances for the Rams this season.
