The opportunity to work again for Billy Davies was the key factor behind Lee Camp's desire to join Nottingham Forest.

The 24 year old finally got his wish today as he signed a four-year contract after Forest paid Queens Park Rangers an undisclosed fee.

Camp played briefly under Davies for Derby and had another taste of the Scot's methods last season during his loan spell at The City Ground.

And he told us: "I enjoyed the time I had on loan with Forest and built up a good rapport with the fans.

"But the big thing for me is Billy - I know what he's all about and what he'll want to do and how he will approach things.

"And having worked with him and his backroom staff before, it all fits.

"It ticks every box and although being at home and closer to my family is important to me as well, essentially my motivation was to come and play for Nottingham Forest."

The former England Under 21 international made 15 loan appearances for The Reds last season and had hoped the two clubs would strike a deal during the January transfer window.

That never materialised and Camp is happy his patience has been rewarded.

He added: "There's always a doubt that a deal won't go through but I had pretty much made up my mind as soon as I knew the club were interested.

"I've worked with Billy before and know what he's all about. I'm very excited, am pleased that it's all done and dusted and can't wait for it to start."
