On Instagram, Ozoh shared a personal message to fans, writing: “Two unforgettable years as a Ram. I’ve loved every single moment of it. I’m truly grateful for all the support and memories. This club will always hold a special place in my heart.” The post reflects his deep connection with the club and its supporters, despite not securing a permanent deal.
Having joined Derby County on loan in July 2025, Ozoh returned to the club after initially playing for them during the 2024–2025 season. His journey began at Crystal Palace, where he has been a part of the academy since the age of eight. He made his professional debut in a Premier League match against Newcastle United in January 2023, becoming the youngest player to represent the Eagles in the top flight at that time—a record later broken by Joël Drakes-Thomas in December 2025.
As Ozoh prepares for the next chapter in his career, speculation continues to grow about his international future. With Nigeria’s national team selectors closely monitoring eligible players abroad, his performances in the Championship could play a crucial role in his selection for upcoming qualifiers and tournaments. His future may now lie with a new club or a return to Crystal Palace, but his time at Derby County has undoubtedly strengthened his profile on the international stage.
