Nottingham Forest are delighted to announce that Michael Dawson will rejoin the club this summer.

The defender made his professional debut with Forest having come through the club’s academy and is set to join upon the completion of his contract at Hull City.

Dawson, 34, made just shy of 100 appearances in the Garibaldi after making his debut in 2002 and went on to play for Tottenham Hotspur and Hull.

The four-cap England international lifted the League Cup during his time at Spurs, as well as featuring in the Champions League and UEFA Cup and has also gained promotion from the Championship with Hull, captaining The Tigers to victory in the play-off final at Wembley in 2015-16.

With well over 300 Premier League appearances to his name, Dawson adds plenty of experience and leadership to the back line and returns to The City Ground to be a part of Aitor Karanka’s side, penning a two-year contract from 1st July 2018.
