Nottingham Forest manager Stuart Pearce insists David Vaughan remains in his plans despite a lack of first-team football.

The 31-year-old Wales international has started just four Championship matches this season but returned to action in the 1-0 FA Cup third round defeat at Rochdale.

"At this moment in time, I have had no inclination at all to want to let David leave the club," he told the Nottingham Post.

"He has just found himself down the pecking order a little bit.

"Robert Tesche has done well in the last few weeks, Ben Osborn has done okay and Henri Lansbury has as well. David has just found himself down the pecking order, because of that."
