Nottingham Forest have added Glenn Murray and James Garner to the side after a double swoop ahead of tonight\u2019s transfer deadline following Saturday\u2019s goalless draw with Barnsley.<\/p>\n
Manager Chris Hughton has known for a while now that his side need more in attack, and in signing Murray on a permanent deal, he feels he has a player that he knows can give him what he wants and with a track record that includes over 200 career goals.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old will be hoping tpo prove he\u2019s not past his sell by date, but hope is that even a short stint can provide a player with experience, hungry, that can dominate opposition defences and score goals too, something Forest have been short on of late.<\/p>\n
In James Garner, who signed on Saturday night, the Reds have a loan signing from Manchester United that plays in an advanced midfield role and can make things happen from the centre of the park.<\/p>\n
19-year-old Garner has played for England at U17,18,19 & 20 levels with 20 Championship games already this season whilst on loan at Watford.<\/p>\n
Garner said on signing for Forest \u201cI\u2019m made up to join a club with the stature and history of Forest and I can\u2019t wait to get stuck into the challenge\u201d.<\/p>\n
Reds Manager Hughton said of the player \u201cJames is a promising young talent in central midfield and that is an area where we\u2019ve had injury problems and players missing in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has completed a good spell at Watford where he has picked up some much-needed Championship experience and we\u2019re confident he will be a valuable asset to us between now and the end of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whilst on Murray, Hughton said \u201cGlenn is a player I know very well and he has an excellent pedigree at this level. Certainly he will add leadership and experience to our squad between now and the end of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a proven goalscorer at Premier League and Championship level and has continued to keep himself fit so we are looking forward to what he can bring to the squad ahead of a busy run of fixtures.\u201d<\/p>\n
