Nottingham Forest striker makes admission on future after completing transfer

On-loan Nottingham Forest striker Hwang Ui-jo admits he is unsure what the future holds after completing his latest move.

The 30-year-old signed a reported three-year deal for the Reds in the summer, but immediately linked up with fellow Evangelos Marinakis-owned club Olympiacos. His six-month spell in Greece didn’t work out as hoped, however, as he struggled both to make an impact and for regular game time.

That resulted in the deal being terminated early, but having already played for Bordeaux and Olympiacos this season, his options were limited. Hwang ended up joining K League 1 side FC Seoul on a short-term loan, but there is uncertainty about what will happen in a few months’ time.

"This was an extremely important decision for me and I put a lot of thought into it," the forward told Yonhap News Agency. "I will try to improve my match fitness as much as I can over these six months. We'll see what happens after six months.

"First of all, I have to get acclimated to the new surroundings here, and I haven't thought about how many goals I'd like to score here. But as a forward, I want to score as many goals as possible."

Hwang’s last appearance for Olympiacos was back at the start of November, and he failed to find the back of the net in the 11 games he played.

"I don't want to let down our supporters. I will give this team everything I have,” he said of his new club.

Hwang is one of a number of Forest players currently out on loan. Brandon Aguilera and Josh Bowler also signed for the club last summer before immediately heading elsewhere.
