CONFIRMED: Nottingham Forest sign Matty Fryatt on free transfer from Hull
NOTTINGHAM FOREST have signed Matty Fryatt on a three-year deal.
Fryatt will move to the City Ground on a free transfer when his contract at Hull expires at the end of this month.
The striker rejected the offer of fresh terms with the Premier League club - despite starting last season's FA Cup final - in favour of a switch to Stuart Pearce's team.
The 28-year-old was a long-term target for the Reds, who have tried to sign him on at least two previous occasions.
But incoming manager Pearce - who will officially begin in the role on July 1 - has swooped to conclude a deal for the former Walsall and Leicester forward.
"I am delighted to announce the signing of Matty Fryatt on a three-year contract, he is a player this club has admired for many years," Forest owner and chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi said.
"I am delighted to have finally got our man. I look forward to welcoming him into this great club when his contract starts on July 1."
