Defender Richie Laryea has been told to stay “ready” for whenever his next Nottingham Forest chance comes.
The Canada international has had to be patient since making the move to the City Ground from MLS outfit Toronto in January. But Monday night saw him make his debut for the Reds when he came off the bench in the 4-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion on the banks of the Trent.
He got a round of applause from his teammates in the dressing room afterwards. And although he faces a fight to get in the team, boss Steve Cooper has been pleased with the 27-year-old’s attitude while he has been biding his time.
