Nottingham Forest defender Brendan Moloney has joined neighbours Notts County on a six-month loan.

The deal will see the Republic of Ireland Under 21 international reunited with former Forest reserve coach Ian McParland, who is in charge at Meadow Lane.

It's the third time the 20 year old, who can operate in a number of positions, has headed out on loan.

He had spells with Chesterfield and Rushden & Diamonds last season and has also made 15 first team appearances for The Reds.
