Forest release 5 players

[Rob the Red]

Nottingham Forest are to release Andy Gray, Kevin Dawson, Gareth Edds, Niall Hudson and Damian Lynch this summer.

Their current contracts, which are due to expire on June 30, will not be renewed by the club.

Andy Gray, the son of former Forest European Cup winner Frank, moved to The City Ground from Leeds four years ago in a £200,000 switch.

However, the 24 year old right winger struggled to really establish himself on the first team scene and made only 41 starts for The Reds.

Central defender Kevin Dawson, Gareth Edds, a versatile Australian, and right back Niall Hudson are products of the club’s youth system.

Dawson and Edds made nine and 12 starts respectively, while Hudson failed to make his mark on the first team scene.

Lynch, who joined Forest last year after being released by Leeds, also failed to clinch the opportunity to make an impression at first team level.

i wondered what ahppened to lynch. no shocks there, except maybe dawson, i liked him

[Rob the Red]

I was shocked at Dawson. I thought he had a few good games.

[Manic Loop]

maybe with doig back we dont need him, we have thompson and matt dawson isntead, no point in keeping to many on for the sake of it

[Rob the Red]

Yeah good point, those three along with Hjelde and Walker should see us OK for the next few seasons.

[Manic Loop]

well if you think about it, we now have the following
scimeca
hjelde
