The 26-year-old striker will line up for Yeading in the FA Cup 1st Round tie and said: "The FA Cup gets so much attention, so if I can put in a good performance against Forest then I can show some people what I am capable of.
"I definitely feel I can play at a higher level again.
"Everyone in the Yeading team needs to go into this match with a ruthless attitude.
"Forest are top of their league, but lots of things can happen in the FA Cup, and I definitely think we have a chance of causing an upset."
