Police say they found a "suspicious" man loitering around Derby County's training complex Moor Farm earlier today.

Officers have tweeted details on the Derby Response - Derbyshire Constabulary Twitter feed with an image of the man sitting in a police van.

A spokeswoman for the force said there was no suggestion he had been arrested.

The man appears to be middle-aged and was wearing a black coat, tracksuit bottoms, and white trainers.

The man's identity has not been revealed and there is not yet any explanation as to why he was at Derby County's multi-million pound training ground.

The police tongue-in-cheek tweet reads: "Officers have just attended the Training Ground for @dcfcofficial after a suspicious male was seen at the perimeter fence.

"Excellent searching conducted and male was located. All checks above board!

"Keeping the team safe to bring home a win against #LUFC on 11th! #SpyingIsCheating."

Derbyshire police later said: "At around 11.20am a call was made in good faith regarding a man acting suspiciously on Morley Road.

"There is nothing on our records to say he has been arrested."

Derby County say they will be making no comment in relation to the incident.
