Goalkeeper Jordan Smith has put pen to paper on a new deal with Nottingham Forest.
The 25-year-old’s contract had come to an end in the summer, after he had signed an extension to play the final nine games of last season following the Championship’s restart.
But Smith has now agreed a two-year deal, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2022.

It means he will provide back-up for first-choice stopper Brice Samba as Sabri Lamouchi’s side target a promotion push.
Smith has continued to train with the Reds since they returned for pre-season, including getting minutes under his belt during their practice matches.
And head coach Sabri Lamouchi had previously made it clear he was keen for the Nigel Doughty Academy product to remain at the City Ground.
“Whether he is No.2 or No.3, Jordan is a fantastic partner and the club knows exactly what I’m thinking about Jordan,” he said back in June.
“He is a fantastic partner, he works hard and he deserves to stay at the club - not for the next month, but for more.”
Smith made three appearances in the Garibaldi last term, including for the final two games as Forest narrowly missed out on the play-offs. In total, he has featured 51 times for the club.
The Reds also still have fellow custodian Costel Pantilimon on their books, but he is expected to depart, with a deal said to have been agreed with Turkish side Denizlispor.
Youngster George Shelvey has also spent time training with the first-team under Lamouchi.
