Derby’s interest in the former Rotherham United man from Derby is unsurprising given Paul Warne’s prior relationship with him, the midfielder having played over 120 matches for the current Rams boss during their time together with the Millers.
Vaulks is into the last year of his current Wednesday contract, and if he’s not going to be a regular at Hillsborough this season then there may be a desire to come to an arrangement that could see him leave in order for him to get more regular gametime elsewhere.
