ETHAN PINNOCK could feature in the play-offs next week, according to Forest boss Mark Cooper.

Prior to picking up a knee injury against Wrexham in March, the  24-year-old defender had been Rovers' standout performer. His anticipated return will be seen as a huge tonic ahead of two vital play-off semi-final games against Dagenham.

Pinnock signed for Rovers from Ryman League outfit Dulwich Hamlet for an undisclosed fee last summer.
