Nottingham Forest are delighted to announce the signing of winger Sammy Ameobi on a one-year contract.

The 27-year-old joins The Reds having left Bolton Wanderers at the end of last season.

Ameobi started his career at Newcastle United, making 70 appearances for his hometown side, and enjoyed loan spells at Middlesbrough, Cardiff City and Bolton, with his move to the latter being made permanent following their promotion to the Championship in 2017.

The former England and Nigeria youth international will now join up with Martin O’Neill’s side ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.
