Nottingham Forest have signed former Derby County winger Jamie Ward on a four-year deal.

Ward spent four seasons with Derby, scoring six goals in 2014-15 as they narrowly missed out on a place in the Sky Bet Championship play-offs, but his contract was not renewed.

The 29-year-old came through the ranks at Aston Villa and enjoyed a prolific spell with Torquay United before moving on to Chesterfield and Sheffield United.
