Huckerby's first day

The 26-year-old doesn't officially sign until 24 February to cover the play-off games (should Forest get there) but Manchester City have allowed the striker to train with Forest until then.

He told the official club website nottinghamforest.co.uk: "I've been made to feel really welcome and I'm just looking forward to making my debut at Watford a week on Saturday - if selected."
