Josh Bowler responds to Nottingham Forest transfer as loan move confirmed

Nottingham Forest winger Josh Bowler has said that it was a ‘no-brainer’ to return to former club Blackpool on loan after the move was confirmed on Thursday.

Blackpool currently sit in 22nd place in the Championship and are winless in their last nine games. The Tangerines have though picked up four draws in their last five games, including a 1-1 draw against Sunderland in their last outing.
