Nottingham Forest strengthened their squad on Sunday with the signing of English left-back Umar Richards from Bayern Munich for their first English Premier League campaign since 1999.
Richards arrived at Bayern after a year largely spent on the bench after joining German champions from English second-tier team Reading. He has signed a four-year contract with One.

“I am thrilled to be back in England joining Nottingham Forest at such an exciting time,” Richards said in a statement. “The club has had incredible enjoyment over the past few months and has great ambitions to return to the Premier League.”
Richards appeared in 12 Bundesliga games last season as Bayern won the German title, but played the full 90 minutes in only one of them.
He is the third signing from German League One this season, behind Mainz defender Moussa Niekhate and Union Berlin striker Taiwo Avonii.
