Apostolos Vellios has posted a message on Twitter wishing Nottingham Forest well following his move away from the City Ground.

The Greece international has penned a two-year deal at Atromitos, joining the Athens-based club for an undisclosed fee, as reported by the Forest official website.

Following his £1.1million move from Greek club Iraklis in the summer of 2016 (Transfermarkt), Vellios made 45 appearances for the Reds, scoring eight times.

However, the 27-year-old has not featured for the East Midlands club for over a year, having spent last season on loan at Belgium outfit Waasland-Beveren, during which he scored four times in 17 outings.

His last appearance for Forest came in the final-day game away at Bolton Wanderers in May 2018.

Here is what Velios wrote to the Trickies fanbase on Twitter:

Some fans responded to him on the social media platform:

Velios has become the second player to swap Nottingham for Greece this month after Algeria international Hillal Soudani moved to Olympiacos.

Forest are currently gearing up for the 2019-20 Championship season, with their first league game at home against West Bromwich Albion.
