Nottingham Forest have announced that young midfielder Brennan Johnson has joined Lincoln City on a season-long loan deal. 

Johnson has made eight appearances for the Reds first-team, but was likely to have his opportunities in the senior squad limited this season.

Nottingham Forest have recently completed a deal to sign Harry Arter from Bournemouth, which is likely to have pushed Johnson further down the pecking order in Sabri Lamouchi's plans this term.
