New Nottingham Forest signing Morgan Gibbs-White has penned a heartfelt goodbye to fans of Wolves after his £25million transfer to Trentside.

The attacking midfielder has been with the gold and black since the age of eight and has concluded his decision to move on from the club as the ‘hardest’ one of his life so far.

A boyhood fan of Wolves, it was never going to be easy for the fans to see him leave or Gibbs-White himself to do so but the 22-year-old has tried to sum up his emotions in a short letter to those that have supported him for nearly 15 years.

“This is so hard to write,” he said via Twitter. “I don’t even know where to begin, honestly.

“Wolves have been my whole life. I’ve been at this club since the age of 8 - the club means everything to me.

“I want to thank everyone who has played such a huge influence on my career. The managers I’ve worked with, the backroom staff, my teammates and the incredible fans who have supported me through the good and the difficult times. I will always appreciate it.

“I’ve grown from a young boy into the man I am today at this club.

“This has been the hardest decision of my life but one I felt I had to take at this stage of my career. It hurts to leave but it’s time to take on a new challenge. I’ll always be a Wolves fan and watch out for results on our matchdays.

“I want to wish everyone the best for the future and hope to see you all soon.
