Nottingham Forest midfielder Tyrese Fornah has completed a loan move to Shrewsbury Town.
The 22-year-old will spend the rest of the season with the League One side, who are managed by ex-Reds boss Steve Cotterill.
Fornah has made three first-team appearances for Forest this term, two of those coming in the Carabao Cup.
His only Championship run-out was in the 2-1 home defeat to Blackburn Rovers while Chris Hughton was still in charge, although he was on the bench for the recent clash with Huddersfield Town.
When he put pen to paper on a new deal last month, head coach Steve Cooper admitted a loan switch was a possibility for Fornah when the transfer window opened.
Highly rated at the City Ground, he has trained with the senior squad, but most of his football in recent months has been with the Under-23s.
He will now get the opportunity for more regular game time with Shrewsbury, with Cotterill admitting the youngster was a target in the summer.
"We're very happy to have Ty, he's a player we had our eye on last summer when Chris Hughton was in charge of Forest but that one couldn't materialise at the time,” he told the club’s official website.
“We revisited it in this window because we do need another midfielder in there so we're pleased to have Tyrese in the building. He's a very good lad, nice lad, and I'm sure he'll fit in.
"It's a position we've been light in so far this season but to be fair to the boys who are already there, we've been quite strong in midfield so far and Tyrese will add that little bit more in there should we fall short through suspensions or injuries.
"He'll bring his defensive qualities more than anything else. He sits and passes it, and that allows us to make some movements in the squad and we're really happy to have him."
Fornah recently penned a contract which will keep him at Forest until the summer of 2024.
It came after he thrived on loan at Plymouth Argyle last term.
