FORMER Nottingham Forest fullback Danny Fox has sealed a transfer to Indian Super League club SC East Bengal, leaving League One side Wigan Athletic.
The 34-year-old spent five years at the City Ground between 2014 and 2019, making 127 appearances in a Forest shirt.
He moved to Wigan Athletic in January 2019 and has played two League One games this season but has been left out of the squad for the past three matches.
Fox will now join the Indian Premier League’s newly-formed side, managed by Robbie Fowler, reportedly turning down an offer of a longer contract from the Latics.
The defender has been locked in talks with the club for a number of weeks but it has now been confirmed that an agreement has been reached.
On their official Twitter account, the club confirmed the arrival: “Say hello to our defensive rock – Danny Fox. Give him a Lal-holud Salaam!”
As noticed by some fans, the unveiling picture includes the defender posing in a Forest shirt.
Speaking after completing his move, Fox explained his decision to swap England for India.
“I am thrilled to be part of SC East Bengal, a club rich in history,” he said.
“I’ve rubbed shoulders with the very best in the Premier League and would love to share the benefit of my experience with the squad.
“The challenge of representing the Red and Gold motivated me to reach new heights.”
It is said that Fowler’s stature and influence in the English game has helped to convince Fox to seal the transfer.
