Nottingham Forest boss Dougie Freedman has had his squad boosted by the signing of defender Bojan Jokic on loan from Villarreal.

The 29-year-old will spend the rest of the season at the City Ground, providing cover for the injured Dani Pinillos.

Freedman lost the service of the left-back for the remainder of the campaign when he suffered a knee injury in December.

Jokic will add some experience to a Forest side who still have hopes of involvement in the play-offs this season.

The Slovenia international has over 70 caps, and he played 90 minutes in a Euro 2016 qualifier against England in June and both legs of November's play-off defeat against Ukraine.

This season he has made seven appearances for Villarreal, who he joined in 2013 after a four-year spell at Serie A side Chievo.

"Nottingham Forest have completed the loan signing of Villarreal's Bojan Jokic," a statement on the Nottingham Forest website read.
