Young goalkeeper Jordan Wright has left Nottingham Forest and signed for Lincoln City on a permanent deal.
The 22-year-old came up through the ranks at the Nigel Doughty Academy, after joining in 2015, but has now penned an 18-month contract with the League One Imps.
He has previously had loan spells at Alfreton Town, Kettering Town, Alloa and Hereford United, as well as featuring for the Reds’ Under-23s.
This season, he had made three appearances for Andy Reid’s side in their Premier League 2 campaign.
"I'm pleased to get the deal done, I know I'm coming in as a number two but I'm looking forward to working with everyone and kicking on from there,” Wright told Lincoln’s official website.
"I've been up and around the first-team at Forest and had some loans, I need to be challenging to be in the first-team on a regular basis now.
"I've had a good chat with the goalkeeper coach, Steve Croudson, and I am sure I can develop a lot under him."
The Imps’ director of football, Jez George, said: "This has been something that we have been working on for a while, so that we have a permanent number two goalkeeper to provide cover for the first team and allow us the option of Sam Long getting out on loan to play regular senior football for his continued development.
“Jordan fits the bill perfectly for what we wanted and we are delighted that he is joining us."
Forest said: “We wish Jordan all the best for the future.”
