There were a number of outgoings at Derby County before the loan window closed on Friday.

Rams boss Frank Lampard was keen to trim his squad ahead of the 5pm deadline, while remained keen to potentially bring in one more player.

No new arrival was forthcoming in the end, though, so his tally of summer signings remains at nine.

Instead, the day was dominated by departures.

Striker Chris Martin completed a move to fellow Championship club Hull City.

The Scotland international has joined the Tigers on loan for the remainder of the season.

Martin is not eligible to make his Hull debut against the Rams when the sides meet at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday (3pm).

Due to the terms of the deal, the same applies for the return league fixture at Pride Park Stadium in February.

Martin has not featured for Derby's first team under new manager Frank Lampard this term.

The 29-year-old's pre-season was hampered by an abdominal problem and he has been building up his fitness with the under-23s.

The former Norwich City front man scored the winner for the under-23s in last week's Premier League Two Division One match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Martin was the Rams' top scorer for three seasons running but has fallen out of favour in recent times, going out on loan to Fulham and Reading.

He has netted 64 goals in 186 appearances for Derby but has been on target only once for the club since April 2016.

Martin's current contract with the Rams runs until the summer of 2020.

“I can’t wait to get started here after having a really positive chat with the head coach (Nigel Adkins)," said Martin.

“Hopefully I can come here, play regular football and contribute towards helping the team to move up the table.

"I’m fit, fresh and ready to play as many games as possible.”

Announcing Martin's exit, the Rams said: "Derby County would like to wish Chris every success during his time with Hull City."

Cameron Jerome also bid farewell to Derby, on a permanent basis.

The striker has joined Turkish club Goztepe for an undisclosed fee.

Jerome spent eight months with the Rams after signing from Norwich City, and scored six goals in 20 appearances.

Another player leaving Derby for good was midfielder Callum Guy.

The 21-year-old midfielder has joined League One side Blackpool on an initial loan deal until January.

However, the move will become permanent once the transfer window reopens at the start of the new year.

He has agreed an 18-month contract at Bloomfield Road, with the option of a further 12 months on top of that.

Guy came through the youth ranks at Derby after joining at the age of nine and became a key member of the under-21 and under-23 sides.

He made only one senior appearance for the Rams, coming on as a late substitute in last season's Carabao Cup second round defeat against Barnsley at Oakwell.

Guy has previously had loan spells in League One at Port Vale and Bradford City.

He made 11 appearances for Vale in 2016-17 and played 17 times for Bradford last term.

Blackpool are 12th in the table with six points from five games so far.

Terry McPhillips' side are in league action away to Walsall on Saturday.

Another midfielder, Timi Max Elsnik, has joined League Two side Mansfield Town on loan.

The Slovenia under-19 international will spend the rest of the 2018-19 season with the Stags.

Elsnik is reunited with manager David Flitcroft, who he played under during a loan spell with Swindon Town last season.

The 20-year-old made 26 appearances for Swindon, scoring five goals.

“Timi is a player I worked very closely with at Swindon," said Flitcroft.

“He is a midfielder with a high quality passing range, creative in his work and who has the ability to score goals from midfield," said Flitcroft.

“He is one of the best young professionals I have had the pleasure of working with and has great core values as a person. He is an extremely committed professional.”

Elsnik has made three senior appearances for the Rams, all coming in the League Cup.

Mansfield are 13th in the table with seven points from their opening five league games.

The Stags are at home to Carlisle United on Saturday.

Elsnik made his Derby debut against Carlisle and scored the winning penalty in an epic shoot-out victory at Pride Park Stadium in August 2016.

A third midfielder, Alex Babos is off to Spain after joining Real Union on a season-long loan.

The Wales Under-21 international will link up with the Basque outfit, who play in the third tier of Spanish football.

The two clubs have developed close links over the past couple of seasons - setting up an annual fixture to compete for the Steve Bloomer Trophy.

Rams legend Bloomer coached Real Union and famously led them to Copa del Rey glory by beating Real Madrid in 1924.

Babos captained Derby in both Steve Bloomer Trophy matches so far. He lifted the inaugural trophy last year but a young Rams side lost 2-1 in July.

The 20-year-old has been a regular fixture in Darren Wassall's under-23 side - and has worn the captain's armband this season.

Real Union's next match is on Sunday, away to SD Amorebieta in Segunda Division B.

Meanwhile, striker Lewis Walker has parted company with the Rams after his contract was cancelled by mutual agreement.

Walker had a trial with Chesterfield during pre-season but was not offered a deal in the end.

The 19-year-old had been at Derby since joining from Ilkeston in January 2016.
