Notts County have confirmed the signing of midfielder Ryan Yates on a season-long loan from Nottingham Forest.
The 19-year-old signs in time to be included in the Magpies squad for the first game of the new League Two season, away at Coventry City.
Yates, who was rumoured to be on the radar of Lincoln City, joins fellow Reds teammate Jorge Grant in penning a loan deal over the river.
He told the official Notts site: "I'm so happy to be here. The manager has been after me for quite a while and I'm delighted it's now over the line.
"I'm full of energy, passion and desire. I like breaking up play and getting box-to-box.
"I've had a good five weeks with the Under 23s at Forest, working really hard with Jack Lester and Gary Brazil. I'm feeling really fit ahead of the new season."
Speaking about his fellow Forest loanee, he said: "I'm good friends with Jorge. We've played quite a few games together so I know how he works.
"Jorge is a top professional and someone I looked up to when I was a scholar at Forest when he was in the 23s and breaking into the first team. He conducts himself as a model pro and that's where I want to get to."
