Former Nottingham Forest winger slips down a league as he makes transfer

Former Nottingham Forest winger Barrie McKay says he is “buzzing” to return to Fleetwood after sealing a season-long loan move from Swansea.

The Scotland international, who left the City Ground in July 2018, spent the second half of last season at Highbury Stadium, scoring twice in 10 appearances.

The forward told Fleetwood’s official website: “I’m buzzing to be back at Fleetwood, getting back to playing games and trying to help the team.

“It’s good to be back – it’s easy coming back here because you know all the surroundings and all the staff. Most of the players I played with last year are still here so that will make it an easier settling-in period.

“Everyone seems to be excited having me back and that was probably the biggest thing for me coming back was the belief I had, not only from the players but the coaching staff last year, so hopefully I can repay that.

“I just want to get out there and start playing with the boys. Obviously, they’ve added a lot of good players and they are scoring some goals – hopefully, I can create some for them and score some myself.”
