Nottingham Forest: Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey signs two-year contract

Wales international Wayne Hennessey has signed a two-year contract at Premier League newcomers Nottingham Forest.

He remains first choice for Wales, however, keeping a clean sheet in their 1-0 World Cup play-off victory over Ukraine.

"It's a very exciting time to come on board and I can't wait to get involved," said Hennessey.

"It's a fantastic club. There's a great fanbase and the atmosphere at The City Ground is up there with the best in the game.

"It'll be a different level now that we're back in the Premier League."

Hennessey, who has played 103 times for Wales and is the country's third most capped player, started at Wolves before completing a £3m switch to Crystal Palace in 2014.
