'The year of the story' - Nottingham Forest fans will love defender's latest Instagram post

Yohan Benalouane is gearing up for his first full season as a Nottingham Forest player and has issued a rallying cry to fans and team-mates.

The Tunisian international and the Reds fell short of a play-off place last season, which started with Aitor Karanka as manager and ended with Martin O'Neill at the helm.

O'Neill was sacked last month, with players reportedly at odds with their boss, and Sabri Lamouchi has replaced him.

Benalouane, who spent three-and-a-half years with Leicester City in the Premier League before joining Forest in January , is targeting a return to the top flight with the Reds.

Forest finished last season in ninth place, eight points off the play-off places and have already strengthened significantly under Lamouchi in their bid to end a two-decade exile from the Premier League.

Benalouane wrote on social media site Instagram: "The year of the story, we will do it."

Accompanying the message was a picture of Forest's badge.
