Derby County confirmed a deal with Bristol City to transfer Max Bird to Ashton Gate at the end of the 2023/24 season. The 24-year-old midfielder will remain with Derby until the campaign concludes, allowing him to contribute to their promotion push before making the move to the southwest. Bird’s impending departure marks a new chapter in his career, while his presence for the remainder of the season will be invaluable as the Rams aim to finish strong in their quest for promotion.
Max Bird’s journey with Derby County came to a fitting conclusion, as he made his 200th appearance for the club in a crucial 2-0 win over Carlisle United, securing their promotion back to the Championship. The academy graduate, who tallied 10 goals and 17 assists during his time with the Rams, left on a high note after years of dedication and strong performances.
Since moving to Bristol City in the summer, Bird has adapted well to his new environment. Operating in a more advanced midfield role, he has featured in 15 games, contributing a goal and two assists. His early impact at Ashton Gate has drawn praise from Robins reporter Daniel Carter, who highlighted Bird’s seamless transition and effectiveness in his new role. Carter described Bird as “excelling” in the Championship, applauding his influence on the pitch as he continues to build his reputation with his new club.
