Forest Green set to sign new defender before EFL League Two opener
ONE new face is expected to take his place on the official Forest Green team photo at The New Lawn on Monday.
Manager Mark Cooper has made no secret of his desire to bolster his squad and the SNJ understands a centre-back is expected to put pen-to-paper ahead of the EFL League Two opener against Barnet on Saturday.
Cooper said: "We definitely need one in before Saturday, which I'm hopeful will happen and then we can take our time a little bit as we have got to the end of August."
