Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey rejoins Nottingham Forest | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest have confirmed the re-signing of Wayne Hennessey on Monday.

The news was delivered by manager Nuno Espírito Santo's press conference, where the boss admitted the 37-year-old has rejoined to bolster the goalkeeping ranks.

After departing at the end of last season, Hennessey has signed a short-term deal until the end of the season.

"Unfortunately, Wayne had a serious injury at the end of last season which was a tough moment for everybody inside the training ground," said Nuno on Monday.

"But he has improved and now he's a big part of us, especially in the goalkeeping community which is a small group.

"He's signed his contract and it's a pleasure to have him around. His knowledge, his experience, the way he goes about his work, it's really good to have him."

Nottingham Forest will hope his experience and leadership help the club continue their incredible Premier League season, which sees them currently sitting in third.
