Serge Branco, 22, is on trial from Eintract Frankfurt and is a left-sided midfielder who has played for Cameroon.

Michael Stewart is also on trial from Manchester United with a view to a season's loan after choosing the Reds over Burnley.

Forest are due to play two games against Libourne and St. Medard who they played last year in pre-season.
