“He’s a good character around the place, enthusiastic, and I think he’ll be a really good player the fans will like to see.”

Forrester said: “I’m glad it’s finally over the line as it’s taken a bit longer than we both planned, but I’m very happy to be here and get started.

“The main thing for me is to get playing and scoring goals, and for me picking the right club was vital. The manager and his assistant have made me feel very welcome and I believe I’m at a good club.”
