Nottingham Forest have announced the departure of Jack Colback.

The midfielder will leave when his contract expires next month.

"Jack has been more than a player to me," said Forest manager Steve Cooper.

“Before I started working with him, and even before his time at Forest, he's had a good career having played in the Premier League many years.

"When you think about last season, everybody played a massive part, but when I think about Jack's contribution, it was huge, especially with some of the goals that he scored.

"The contribution goes to his experience, his leadership. He's a real man."
