Rejoins Forest Hennessey has signed with Nottingham Forest out of free agency, according to his club.

Impact Hennessey has rejoined Forest after exiting the club this offseason, signing on a half-season deal until the end of the campaign. He is likely to only serve as a backup during his time with the club, as he did not appear all of last season and has only seen four appearances since 2022.

The goalkeeper had five sporadic starts throughout the campaign and accumulated 14 saves, seven clearances and six goals allowed.
