NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — American forward Robbie Findley is closer to joining Nottingham Forest after being granted a British work permit.
Findley had already agreed a 212-year contract with the second-tier League Championship club in England.
Forest says Findley must also secure a visa from U.S. authorities.
The 25-year-old Findley was a free agent after leaving Real Salt Lake at the end of the Major League Soccer season.
