Lewis O'Brien admits the Nottingham Forest transfer saga was the "toughest" moment of his footballing career, prior to securing a move to MLS team DC United.
The midfielder's future had been up in the air since January when his move to Blackburn Rovers fell through on deadline day. The Championship side had appealed against the decision but it was blocked by an independent arbitrator at the time.
As a result, it meant O'Brien was unable to play for Forest after being left out of Steve Cooper's squad for the second half of the season. "I probably wasn’t the nicest person to be around for those four weeks after the Blackburn saga," the 24-year-old revealed.
