Nottingham Forest have signed midfielder Luke Freeman from Sheffield United on a season-long loan, with the option of a permanent move.

The 28-year-old began his career at Gillingham and had a spell at Arsenal before moving to Stevenage.

In 2014, he joined Bristol City, who won the Football League Trophy and the League One title in his first season.

He signed for Queens Park Rangers two years later, but joined the Blades for their Premier League return last term.
