The Scotland international is out of contract in the summer and so far lengthy negotiations over a new Pride Park deal have failed to bear fruit.

"He's someone we are interested in trying to get," confirmed Smith.

"We've made an enquiry and we are in talks with Derby to see what the situation is."

Smith last week revealed that he was on the look-out for two loan deals following the departure of Kenny Miller to Bursaspor.
