Former Derby County skipper Richard Keogh is now back playing with Huddersfield TownFormer Ireland international Richard Keogh has had a major victory in his battle with Derby County over his sacking, with an award of over £2million in his favour. Keogh was punished by Derby for his role in a drink-driving incident during a team-bonding day in 2019. Derby contested that decision with the League Appeals’ Committee (LAC) but that body has now backed Keogh. “The LAC has heard and dismissed an appeal under the regulations of the EFL by Derby against the decision of the PRDC in the case ofRichard Keogh," a LAC statement read. Keogh revived his career after Derby with MK Dons and moved back to the Championship with Huddersfield Town, making 21 appearances this season.
