Meet the Nottingham Forest kitman responsible for suiting and booting the players before they take to the pitch.

Daniel Smith is the first team kit manager at the Reds and has been speaking about his job ahead of the new season which gets underway on Saturday (August 6).

The Reds’ opening fixture in the Sky Bet Championship is at the City Ground against Burton Albion where Daniel will be readying the kits for the players.

It is a dream job

In the video, he said: “I’ve been the kitman at Forest for six years and I’m about to go into my seventh season.

“I’ve been a Forest fan all my life so it is a dream job.

“The best thing is the banter that you get being around the players and people that you’ve grown up watching on TV.”
