Young Derby Prospect Loaned To Boston

New Pilgrims boss Craig Elliott has brought in the highly-rated England under-17 international, who has impressed in the Rams academy and under-23s.

Having signed his first professional contract with Derby in May 2016, the 19-year-old defender has had, and taken, a number of opportunities to impress, both at club and national level, since joining the Rams at the age of seven.

He was a key figure for the Rams’ then under-21s squad, showing his versatility in both full-back positions, as they were clinched the Division 2 title ahead of Arsenal at the end of the 2015/16 season.

Stabana played another dozen times in the Premier League 2 Division 1 as the Rams avoided relegation and there’s no doubt he would have played a lot more had he not picked up an injury in January.
