Djed Spence has sent a personal message to his former manager Neil Warnock after helping Nottingham Forest return to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years.
The 21-year-old has enjoyed a tremendous loan spell at the City Ground after joining the club on loan from Championship rivals Middlesbrough at the start of the season.
Spence has made 46 appearances for the Reds this season and could now join Steve Cooper's side on a permanent basis after they defeated Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium to confirm promotion to the Premier League.
