The man who did more than most to end Forest's play-off hopes at the semi-final stage last season found himself checking-in at The City Ground just six weeks later.

Davies scored twice as Yeovil overturned a 2-0 first leg deficit to run out 5-4 aggregate winners and dash Forest's hopes of a return to the Championship in 2007.

Even before his semi-final heroics he was already figuring highly on Forest's 'wanted list' - alongside his team-mate Chris Cohen - and Colin Calderwood was delighted to land the pair for an undisclosed sum.

The fleet-footed performer brings versatility to the Forest squad as he is capable of operating on either flank as well as up front.

He launched his career with Southampton but moved to Yeovil in 2004 in search of regular first team football. He made an increasing impact in his time at Huish Park, culminating in him making his debut for Wales in 2006.

His Forest debut was delayed due to injury so it was the end of October before he made his first appearance at The City Ground.
