Former Nottingham Forest loanee Lee Tomlin has singled out Aitor Karanka as one of the most influential managers in his career, having worked with him at the City Ground.
Tomlin has hung up his boots after 17 years in the game. And he thanked each of his old clubs - including the Reds - as he announced his decision on social media.
The ex-attacker had a loan spell at Forest in 2018, netting four goals in 15 appearances. Karanka was manager at the time, while Tomlin had also played under him at Middlesbrough.
