Nottingham Forest have announced head coach Steve Cooper has put pen to paper on a new contract.
The Reds boss penned a two-year deal when he replaced Chris Hughton at the helm little more than 12 months ago. He has now agreed fresh terms until 2025.

“The Forest head coach has signed a new deal at the City Ground running until 2025.
The 42-year-old took charge of the Reds last September and has since won 29 of his 54 matches at the helm.
“After finishing fourth in the Championship last season, he became the first manager since 1998 to lead the Reds into the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley.
“It is now important that our focus is solely on football. As a group we are all concentrated and will do everything we can to help the team move up the league table and once again demonstrate our qualities that led us to the Premier League.”
Cooper had come under pressure on the back of a run of five straight defeats in the Premier League. A 4-0 thumping at Leicester City on Monday saw the Reds slump to bottom of the table. They host Aston Villa on Monday.
