Nottingham Forest have confirmed that Manchester City forward Darren Huckerby will join the club for the remainder of the season.

The 26-year-old will officially join Forest on 24 February to cover the play-offs should the team secure third to sixth place.

Paul Hart told nottinghamforest.co.uk: "We want to get promotion and having a player of Darren's quality on board will help us try and achieve that aim."

Huckerby joins new boys Davy Oyen and Benjamin Gavanon at The City Ground and could make the move permanent if Forest gain promotion to The Premiership.

He will begin training with The Reds next week and would be free to make his debut against Watford at Vicarage Road on 1 March.
