Its seems that the fine shot-stopper would also prove a loyal servant for the Reds. The player rejected offers from Leeds United and Ipswich Town to link up with his team-mates at The City Ground. "I discussed all my options with my wife and family over the summer and came to the conclusion joining Forest was the best move. "I really enjoyed my loan spell at the City Ground - there's a nice feel about the club, a good staff and I was made to feel welcome by the supporters, which is important."
