Chris Cohen is set to end a 13-year association with Nottingham Forest, to take up a coaching role at Luton Town.
The 33-year-old has been part of the Reds’ Under-23s set-up since hanging up his boots two years ago.
But he is now set to join Championship rivals the Hatters as a first-team coach.

The move will see him link up with Luton boss Nathan Jones, who he played alongside at Yeovil Town.
Cohen first made the move to the City Ground as a player in 2007, going on to make more than 300 appearances in a career blighted by serious injury.
He fought back from three ACL injuries and last pulled on the Garibaldi when he came off the bench in a 0-0 draw at home to Bristol City in April 2018.
He then went on to work with the club’s youth-team and stepped up to take charge of the Under-23s earlier this year, following the departure of Jimmy Gilligan.
A fans’ favourite Trentside, Cohen is understood to be keen on becoming a manager himself in the future, with the move to Kenilworth Road a chance to take a step up the ladder.
Andy Reid is likely to take temporary charge of the Under-23s, who face Sheffield United this evening, before a permanent successor to Cohen is named.
