The 30-year-old finally arrives at Pride Park following a delay while the Scottish league leaders searched for a replacement keeper of their own.

The Rams initially thought they had signed the Northern Ireland international last Thursday but the move went on hold as Rangers boss Walter Smith looked to sign another keeper.

Now that the Glasgow club have snapped up Scotland international Neil Alexander from Ipswich it has enabled Carroll to make his move.

In turn, Rams stopper Stephen Bywater is in talks with Ipswich over a move to Portman Road.

Rams manager Paul Jewell expressed his relief on the club's official website, www.dcfc.co.uk, saying: "It has been a protracted deal but I believe it will be worth the wait because Roy is a great pro and he will come straight into contention for Saturday's game at Birmingham."
