Nottingham Forest manager Dougie Freedman has revealed that he has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the club.

The Scot agreed a short-term contract when he took charge of the Reds at the beginning of February, with a view to extending it down the line.

Forest are yet to officially announce that Freedman has signed the deal, but the 40-year-old says that he is looking forward to the future at the City Ground.

"I am here for two more years and there is an option in there to extend it again, if the club want to. You cannot look too far. But it is nice for the players to know who they will be working with, for the next couple of years," he told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"I have signed the contract, it is done. The chairman is here tonight, so hopefully he will sign his part. I have signed my part, so it is all but done. I don't see any hiccups now. I am so delighted to be the manager of this club, I am excited because it is a fantastic opportunity.

"It does feel as though we can look forward to a bright future, but we will go about our business quietly, looking to build something special for the longer term."

Forest, who are 10th in the Championship table, have won seven of Freedman's 15 games in charge so far.
