Former Forest players who have been released this summer
The season is over, bar the shouting of the play-offs and clubs across the country have begun announcing their retained lists ahead of the summer break. Nottingham Forest have announced their own list with only Jamie Ward and Stephen Henderson departing at the end of their contracts. Here, we take a look at the those who have pulled on the Garibaldi red in yesteryear, but are now in need of a new team after being released. Joel Lynch The central defender has just been shown the door by QPR after three years at Loftus Road. He played 37 times last season, but new boss - and ex-Forest manager - Mark Warburton has decided to let Lynch go. The 31-year-old played 90 times for Forest over a near four-year stint which ended in 2012 when he joined Huddersfield.

Two players who Reading could target in Portugal this summer
Ahead of next season, Reading arguably have one of the biggest summer transfer windows in the division in terms of importance. Their end of season standing in regard to league position is largely thanks to the business that was undertaken in January, with at least one player added to every area of the field, including a goalkeeper. The issue, though, is that those players were signed on very short-term deals, and the squad voids will again become apparent once they return to their parent clubs. As a result, Royals will have to be active this summer in order to ensure that progression is achieved next season. Interestingly, Reading were rumoured to have scouts in Portugal to witness Rio Ave versus Porto at the end of April, which suggests that there may be some underlying player interest. Relevantly, José Gomes is a former manager of Rio Ave, meaning that he may have some knowledge as to which players could contribute in England. It's unlikely that Reading would be able to … [Read more...] about Two players who Reading could target in Portugal this summer
