New signing Willy Boly was given an early insight into what to expect at Nottingham Forest, before he put pen to paper.
The defender became the Reds’ 19th summer addition when he agreed a two-year deal on deadline day, making the move from Wolverhampton Wanderers. And the switch sees him reunited with former Wolves teammate Morgan Gibbs-White, who joined the club earlier in the window.
Boly says Gibbs-White told him he would “love it” at the City Ground. Seeing Forest’s team spirit, and the backing of the City Ground fans, against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend also convinced the 31-year-old to link up with Steve Cooper’s side.
