Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Bayern Munich and former England U21 left-back Omar Richards.
The 24-year-old defender moves back to England a year after moving to Bayern from Reading, with Richards signing a four-year deal at the City Ground.
Richards is Forest’s fifth summer arrival and the left-back will link up with Steve Cooper’s squad ahead of Tuesday’s friendly with Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium.
“I’m thrilled to return to England by joining Nottingham Forest at such an exciting time,” Richards told Forest’s official website. “The club has enjoyed an incredible last few months and there’s great ambitions for the Premier League return.
“I’ve played against Forest in the past and they get such great backing from their fans, whilst the City Ground is an amazing place that I can now call home.”
