Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper completes transfer to Notts County's rivals

Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Lee Camp has completed a move to Notts County's promotion rivals Wrexham.

The former Derby stopper has signed a short-term deal with the Dragons due to an injury sustained by number one Rob Lainton who is out for the rest of the campaign.

Camp won the player of the season award at Forest in the 2009/10 campaign and has had an excellent career which led him recently to Swindon Town.

Speaking about the move to the Racecourse, Camp said: "It’s exciting. Since finishing at the end of last season, there have been opportunities to get back in but nothing that has taken my fancy.

“You can get to a stage in your career where you just sort of plod along but I’ve never been that person. I’ve always wanted to be involved in stuff, add value and contribute, and be a part of something.

“Rob’s misfortune is why I’m here but to come to a Football Club with aspirations to get back into the EFL, and the excitement and the opportunity to be part of a promotion challenge and a semi-final in the FA Trophy next week… it’s exciting, it’s something you can get your teeth into and it gives you a buzz to get out of bed.

“I’m thankful and grateful for the opportunity. I’ve kept myself in shape and I feel within a couple of days I’ll be sharp and ready to contribute.”

Manager Phil Parkinson added: “I’m delighted to welcome Lee to the Club. It was important with the unfortunate injury to Rob Lainton that we brought another experienced goalkeeper in. He’s a keeper Lee Butler and I have known well over the years and he’ll be a strong addition to the squad going forward.”
