Steve Cook admits he is feeling "really excited" ahead of Nottingham Forest's Championship clash against Bournemouth on the south coast on Friday night.
The defender represented the Cherries for 10 years between 2012 and 2022 before he made the move to the East Midlands in the January transfer window.
But now, a month later, he is set to travel back to the place where he spent most of his career as a footballer and his children call home.
