Midfielder Tyrese Fornah says it is "nice to be back" at Nottingham Forest after returning from his loan spell.
The 22-year-old spent the second half of the season at Shrewsbury Town, making 19 appearances - all but two of which came as part of the starting XI. But with the club’s League One campaign over, he has returned to the City Ground.
Fornah posted a picture on Instagram of his locker and Reds training gear with the message “nice to be back”. And he added a heart emoji for good message.

Highly regarded at Forest, the Nigel Doughty Academy graduate had been struggling for game time prior to linking up with the Shrews. His three games in the Garibaldi this term had all come during Chris Hughton’s time at the helm.
But he has been in fine form on loan. And he says he has benefitted from the faith shown in him by boss Steve Cotterill and his staff.
Writing on Twitter after his spell had ended, Fornah said: “To @shrewsweb and the fans. First and foremost, I just wanted to start by thanking all of you and the boys, my teammates here, the coaching staff, medical staff, I could go on, for looking after me and taking care of me as one of your own and believing in me. And giving me belief in me as a footballer and as (a) young man with big aspirations and dreams (of) making my way in the game and trying to play at the highest level. Can’t thank you guys enough for all the love and support. You’ve been absolutely fantastic to me since January
“I hope I’ve put in the type of performances I always try to produce, which is expressive on the pitch with 100 percent hard work and desire, which is what you deserve. Wish you fans,
@shrewsweb, boys and staff all the very best and hope to see you all soon. God Bless you all.”
The club posted a message in response, saying: “Thank you for your efforts, Ty! You've been outstanding.”
