The Scotland defender has joined Championship rivals Wigan Athletic on a permanent deal.
Nottingham Forest have confirmed that defender Danny Fox has left the City Ground to join fellow Championship side Wigan Athletic.
The 32-year-old Scotland international has made 127 appearances for the Reds since joining from Southampton in 2014 first on loan and then permanently, with 21 appearances this season, according to BBC Sport.
Wigan announced the signing with an article on their official website, stating that Fox has arrived for an undisclosed fee – which BBC Sport believes to be £300,000 – and his contract length has not been disclosed either.
Forest, meanwhile, announced their player’s departure with a tweet in which they wrote: “The club would like to thank Danny for his efforts during his five years at the club and wish him the best of luck in his future career.”
Here is how some Reds fans reacted to the news on Twitter:
According to the official Latics article, Fox made his Football League bow with Walsall before progressing through the divisions via Coventry City, Burnley, Southampton and Forest.
The Scot also had a brief spell north of the border with Celtic in 2009, during which time he played with former Wigan aces Shaun Maloney and Gary Caldwell.
Wigan currently sit 20th in the Championship table, six points above the relegation zone.
