Nottingham Forest have confirmed that left-back Omar Richards as their fifth signing of the summer transfer window.
The 24 year-old former Bayern Munich defender has signed a four-year contract at the City Ground that is set to see the player's peak years spent in the East Midlands. Forest were widely reported to have agreed a fee with the German giants over the weekend and the former England under-21 international has since agreed personal terms with the Reds and undergone a medical ahead of this announcement.
While arriving from Bavaria, Richards is no stranger to English football. Born in Lewisham, southeast London, his footballing career began in the capital at Fulham at the age of 10 before being released by the Craven Cottage club and instead signing a professional contract with Reading.
