Toffolo warns Forest teammate Renan: I'm in best shape of my life

Nottingham Forest fullback Harry Toffolo is happy to fight for his place.

Toffolo is playing second fiddle to Renan.

He told The Sun: “I'm now in the best shape of my life and, after what I've gone through, I'm better equipped to take the next opportunity. I know that chance will come.

“At Huddersfield, Josh Ruffels and I were in competition for the shirt.

"Last season I was involved in 14 goals from full-back (scoring six with eight assists) so Josh will have felt hard done by as he trained well and was ready to step up. When he got into the team, he was great too.

“The boot is on the other foot now because Renan has the shirt. I don't see him as a rival but a team-mate.

"I want him to do well but must be ready when called upon — we're getting the best out of each other.

“And I want to make an impact during these last nine games and help this club up."
