Nottingham Forest have been given a major boost ahead of their assault on the play-offs by completing the permanent signing of Polish star Radi Majewski.

The Reds have paid Polonia Warsaw £1million for the midfielder, who has been on a season-long loan at The City Ground.

Majewski has signed a three-year contract.

The 23 year old has made a huge impact on the Forest scene and has been a key figure in the club's promotion challenge.

Majewski has made 34 starts and scored four goals, including a stunning effort in the opening seconds of Forest's win over Derby in August and a wonder strike against West Brom in January that was voted the club's Goal of the Season.

Manager Billy Davies said: "I'm delighted to be signing him. He's an excellent young player and at his age and with his ability, he will only get better.

"He's a great addition to the squad."

Nottingham Forest will face Blackpool in the semi-finals of the Championship play-offs.

The first leg will take place at Bloomfield Road next Saturday (kick-off 12.45pm), with the return leg at The City Ground on Tuesday, May 11 (kick-off 7.45pm).

Forest are awaiting confirmation from Blackpool of ticket prices and allocation. The club will publish full ticket details just as soon as Blackpool provide the necessary information.

Derby County and Nottingham Forest have been fined a total of £45,000 each for failing to control their players in a league match earlier this season.

The charge relates the the Coca-Cola Championship fixture between the east midlands rivals at Shame Park on January 30.

Forest boss Billy Davies accused his opposite number Nigel Clough of deliberately kneeing him in the back of the leg following a stoppage-time melee involving players and staff from both clubs.

The reverse fixture at the City Ground in August also ended amid scenes of mass confrontation.

A Football Association Commission Statement read: "At an Independent Regulatory Commission earlier today both D**by County and Nottingham Forest were fined for failing to control their players.

"Both clubs accepted the charge following an incident of mass confrontation in the fixture at Shame Park on 30 January 2010.

"The clubs were fined £35,000 and warned as to their future conduct, whilst a further £10,000 suspended penalty imposed on the clubs from a case earlier in the season was also activated."

Nottingham Forest are delighted to announce that Victor Chandler is to continue to be the club's official sponsor until the summer of 2012.
The online bookmaker and gaming company has agreed a new two-year deal after a successful first season as the club's sponsor.

Peterborough United Captain and Midfielder George Boyd is set to join Forest on loan until the end of the season.

A permanent deal has apparently already been agreed for the player who has scored 12 goals this season for Posh.

Boyd has been a key player for Posh since signing from Stevenage in 2007, but his current contract will run out in the summer of 2011.
