'Stuck by me' - Nottingham Forest star Lyle Taylor pays tribute to two key men

Lyle Taylor has paid tribute to SMI World agent Lee Matthews and the company's football consultant Leon Constantine following his switch to the City Ground.

The agency firm has represented Taylor in the last three years and oversaw his switch to the City Ground on a free transfer following his exit from Charlton Athletic.

His move to Forest is the biggest of his career so far and SMI have overseen the deal which took him from AFC Wimbledon to Charlton before ending up at the Reds.

And in a glowing tribute in which Taylor is sat alongside Matthews and ex-Torquay and Southend striker Constantine, he said he owed them a great deal of gratitude.

He wrote: "These two, along with the rest of  SMI World are the ones who have taken the time to help make me the player I am over the last 3 years.

"They’ve stuck by me and advised me through some of the hardest times I’ve had to deal with.

"Without them, this would all be pie in the sky!

"They have helped make this a reality. Thank you!"
