Nottingham Forest manager Steve McClaren has made his fourth signing of the summer transfer window by landing Matt Derbyshire from Greek outfit Olympiakos. The 25 year old has been signed for an undisclosed fee and has put pen to paper a three year deal at the City Ground.
Derbyshire thus becomes McClaren’s fourth signing of the summer after Andy Reid, Jonathan Greening and George Boateng. He spent last season on loan at Birmingham City and left the Blues for Greece when they were relegated from the Premier League.
Derby County were also interested in Derbyshire but Forest have stolen a march over their rivals after securing his signature.
At Olympiakos, Derbyshire was best remembered for his brace in the club’s Greek Cup final win over arch rivals Panathinaikos.
