The 21-year-old has joined Forest following his release from Elland Road in June.
Former Leeds United striker Lewis Walters has confirmed via his Instagram account that he has signed for the Whites’ Championship rivals Nottingham Forest.
The Thorp Arch academy product was released at the end of his contract in June, without ever making an appearance for the West Yorkshire side.
Since then Walters has turned out for League One outfit Sheffield United on trial, but is now officially back in the game with Forest.
The Reds are yet to officially announce the 21-year-old’s arrival, nor has the length of his contract on Trentside been disclosed.
However, Walters’ latest social media post, which shows him signing his contract alongside Forest academy manager Gary Brazil, is fairly conclusive.
The Harrogate-born player, who is still awaiting his senior debut, will likely join his new side’s development squad initially.
Current Leeds defender Tyler Denton and former Whites forward Robbie McDaid were quick to congratulate Walters, posting the following messages on Twitter:
Among Walters’ new City Ground teammates is winger Mustapha Carayol, who spent the latter half of last season on loan at Elland Road, appearing on 14 occasions and scoring twice.
