Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Burnley goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.

The Wales international has signed a two-year deal with Forest.

Hennessey said: “I've come up against Forest a lot in the past and 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.

“I have also played with and against a few of the Forest players. It's a very exciting time to come on board and I can't wait to get involved and start training here at the Nigel Doughty Academy."

Hennessey has joined up with the Forest squad with immediate effect ahead of the friendly with Barnsley at Oakwell on Saturday.

“Wayne is an excellent goalkeeper who has proven himself at the highest level over many years," said Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper.

“He's helped Wales reach new heights in the international game and he has a wealth of Premier League experience. However, Wayne is also a great character and he is a very strong addition to the Nottingham Forest dressing room."
