Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Karl Darlow has signed a fresh four-year contract with the club.

The 22-year-old, who has made four appearances so far this season, had penned a three-year deal at the City Ground last October.

Darlow has kept three clean sheets in as many games to help Forest reach the top of the Championship.

"Having come through the youth team I'm delighted to extend my deal further. I have a great passion for the club," Darlow told BBC East Midlands Today.

"The manager (Billy Davies) has shown faith in me. When he came in last season he stuck with me and this season he has made me his number one.

"I am delighted he has been happy with what I am doing and I just want to carry on."

Darlow has made 25 appearances for the East Midlands club.
