Former Nottingham Forest loanee Max Lowe has been given an opportunity to stake his claim for a place in Sheffield United’s first team this season, after being denied a move back to the City Ground.
The 25-year-old left-back spent last season on loan with Forest, helping the team to gain promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs. Lowe was a second half substitute for the final against Huddersfield after recovering from a groin injury.
Forest were keen to make the loan move permanent in the January transfer window, but saw a bid of £2 million turned down by the Blades. Olympiacos, also owned by Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, saw a bid rejected this summer.
