Nottingham Forest fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to Britt Assombalonga signing a new contract.

Assombalonga has committed his long-term future to Forest by putting pen to paper on a new five-year deal, as announced on the Reds’ official website on Friday.

The 23-year-old striker has been on the books of the Reds since the summer of 2014 when he joined them from Peterborough United, now in League One.

Assombalonga has established himself as one of the best players at Forest, although he has suffered with injury problems.

The former Watford man has scored three goals and created one chance in three Championship appearances for the Reds so far this season.

The striker could play just two league matches for Forest last season due to injury, while during the 2014-15 campaign, he scored 15 goals and created 24 chances in 29 Championship games.

Forest fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Assombalonga signing a new contract.
