Newboys Huddersfield Town have offered the defender a deal at the Galpharm Stadium to bring to an end to his near 4-year stay with the Reds and join the likes of Garath McCleary and Luke Chambers in leaving Nottingham on free transfers this summer.
With starlet defender Jamaal Lascelles the subject of a bid from Tottenham pre-season is, at present, taking on a familiar pattern as Forest fans wait patiently for new signings while seeing the squad gradually depleted in number.
All hopes for that trend being reversed lie with the takeover of the club, news of which remains eagerly awaited.
