Alfreton Town are pleased to confirm the signing of full back Danny Preston on a month's youth loan from Nottingham Forest.

Danny, the current Forest U23 captain moves to the Impact Arena looking to provide another strong option within the back-line for Billy Heath.

Predominantly a left back, Danny had a good 2016-17 as he made the step up to play for then Jack Lester's Under 23s.

The combative left back showed plenty of promise in his first year as a scholar, competing in the higher age group and holding his own as well as featuring in the Under 18s as they reached the FA Youth Cup fourth round.

Preston has featured heavily for Chris Cohen's Forest U23s this season and his quality and progression has contributed to his gaining of the captaincy for the side.

Billy Heath:
We've been aware of Danny for a long time and we have watched him whilst he's played for Forest U23s. He is a solid left back with bags of quality and he has an excellent physical side to him so he will adapt well to the National League North.

Forest rate him highly and we hope he will make a good impact for us, we look forward to working with him. Danny comes straight into the squad and is available for Saturday.

Welcome Danny!
