Gilchrist, 21, spent time On loan with Sheffield United In the last campaign. He helped the knives to reach the play-off final under former boss Chris Wilder.
As for his ties with the rams, Hendrie said, according to a report from Football League World”I Was a bit disappointed about him when he went to Sheffield United. I think he has sinks with potential, and I thought he would get up and be a big player for them. But it didn’t happen. So I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t really work for him. Maybe he has a taste of the championship and he knows what it is about. He will have to go to a football club and start his career.
“If you have quality and experience around you, players can learn and improve. Hopefully that is the case for Alfie Gilchrist, because he could be a super drawing for Derby.”
