We’re delighted to announce that Isaac Gordon has signed his first professional contract with Derby County Football Club. The Sheffield-born right-back began his footballing journey with Sheffield United before joining Derby’s academy setup at Under-12 level. Since then, Isaac has shown impressive consistency and progression through the ranks, earning his place as one of the club’s most exciting young prospects.
Isaac made 23 appearances in the U18 Premier League last season, regularly featuring as a wing-back where his energy, athleticism and technical quality stood out. His performances were rewarded with four appearances for the U21s, highlighting the trust the coaching staff have in his development. This new deal sees Isaac take the next step as he joins the U21 squad full-time for the 2025/26 campaign.
Everyone at Forum Sports Management is incredibly proud of Isaac’s achievement. Signing a first professional contract is a significant milestone and reflects the hard work, discipline, and talent he’s shown throughout his journey so far. We’re excited to continue supporting him on and off the pitch — and look forward to what’s ahead in this next chapter.
