Brennan Johnson has put pen to paper on a new deal at Nottingham Forest, the club have confirmed.
The news will come as a massive boost to the Reds who are preparing for life in the Premier League in the upcoming season. He played a big part in the success of Forest in the play-offs as they overcame Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town to earn a place in the top division.
Johnson was the subject of interest from the Premier League back in January, with Forest rebuffing offers from Brentford during the winter window. Promotion to the Premier League now means that Johnson will remain at the City Ground for the significant future.
