Nottingham Forest striker Dexter Blackstock urges the Championship club to hand him a new contract.

Nottingham Forest striker Dexter Blackstock has revealed that he is keen to sign a new deal with the Championship club.

The 26-year-old's current contract will expire at the end of the season, leaving him free to discuss terms with interested parties in January.

However, he has insisted that he does not want to depart the City Ground and has urged the club to hand him fresh terms.

"There has not been any movement. There have not been any talks. I don't know what I can say, I am here," he told the Nottingham Evening Post. "We are in mid-December now, almost. January is almost here. But what can I do? I have a great rapport with the fans, I love being here. It is a great club to play for and I hope that continues. But I have not been offered a contract.

"I don't run the club. I do not control the finances here. I don't know what the club have planned. These are decisions that need to be made by the hierarchy of the club. I am not going to be disappointed about something I have no control over."

"I have a contract that runs until the end of the season. I am fully prepared to work hard to fulfil that. I have not officially been offered a new contract. What can I do? We have had conversations in the past about players leaving the club for nothing. But it is out of my hands."

Blackstock joined Forest from Queens Park Rangers in 2009.
