Since his historic debut against the Magpies, he has totaled thirteen appearances for Palace's first team
The all-action midfielder has played against Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League.
Ozoh has been on the books of Crystal Palace since the age of eight, rising through the youth team ranks to sign his first professional contract with the Eagles in August 2022.
He could make his competitive debut for Derby County on the opening day of the Championship season on Friday, August 9 when they take on Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
