No Forest Return for Bart - Ipswich Town News

Released Town midfielder Chris Bart-Williams will not be returning to former club Nottingham Forest, despite reports linking him with a move back to the City Ground.

Bart-Williams left Portman Road at the end of last season and has been unable to find a club.

A trial at Leeds was unsuccessful while Forest's chief executive Mark Arthur is ruling out a move for their former player: "We were contacted by Chris's agent but Joe Kinnear isn't interested in signing him."
