Notts County head coach Ian Burchnall says the relationship with Nottingham Forest continues to go from strength to strength after landing Harry Arter on loan.
The Magpies pulled off a major coup by landing the former Bournemouth midfielder until the end of the season and he is expected to play a key role in their National League promotion push.
Arter's move came after Forest allowed Jayden Richardson to remain at the club until the end of the season in what was another example of the burgeoning friendship.

And speaking after Tuesday night's win over Boreham Wood, which saw Arter make his home debut, Burchnall is pleased at how the two clubs are working together.
"The relationship with Forest helped that deal (Arter) a lot," he said.
"I've spoken to Dane Murphy, Gary Brazil and Andy Reid of the under-23s. The two clubs have done a lot of work and crossover. We try to help each other where we can.
"They have a wealth of good players that can certainly help us. And if they feel we are contributing to them then I think it's a great relationship."
Notts fans have been impressed by Arter's contribution already while Richardson continues to win rave reviews for his performances.
One fan said: "Both brilliant players, long may it continue."
Another supporter added: "Arter is like a dad playing a kids game. He’s something else. Thank you."
And a third commented: "I think it's fabulous that Forest and Notts are back on track. Good to see them sending players over the Trent for game time and not just training and sitting in the stands. Every little helps us get out the tinpot NL. Keep sending them."
