Matt Lockwood

Matt is currently enjoying a good season at Dundee in Scotland, the club he joined in the summer of 2010.

The move has seen him get back to top form and fitness and also seen Matt find the back of the net again from his left back role.

The move has also enabled Matt to start on the coaching ladder with him now being assistant manager.

Matt signed for Colchester United in 2008 after having made the decision to bring to an end a nine-year association with Leyton Orient during the summer of 2007 when Forest showed an interest in him.

Forest paid an undisclosed fee for the experienced left back, who had established himself as a firm fans' favourite at his previous club.

He had made more than 380 appearances for Orient and scored 56 goals, including no fewer than 11 in his last season. That represents an excellent return for a defender and is something Colin Calderwood was keen to see him repeat for The Reds.

Born in Rochford, Essex, he launched his career with Queens Park Rangers but his career really gathered pace with Bristol Rovers, for whom he made 77 appearances.

Known for the consistency of his displays - a fact recognised by his peers when he was named in the PFA's Team of the Year for League One in 2006-2007.

Nottingham Forest debut: August 11, 2007 v Bournemouth (H) League One.
