Steve Cook has explained how he is trying to bring noise into Nottingham Forest by being a vocal leader on and off the pitch.
The defender joined the Reds in the January transfer window following a 10-year stint at Bournemouth, where many players looked up to him. Now Cook is keen to instil what he has learned throughout his career to Steve Cooper's young team.
Prior to Forest's FA Cup win over Arsenal in January, Cook admits he saw it as the perfect 'opportunity' to make his voice heard amid a quiet dressing room. "The manager asked me to add something to the group, and from the first training session I tried to be a leader," the 31-year-old told the Daily Mail.
