Nottingham Forest midfielder Chris Cohen has expressed his delight at being named captain for the upcoming 2013-14 season.

The 26-year-old has been handed the honour by manager Billy Davies following a six-year spell at the City Ground.

"It's great, I've been here a long time and it's very nice of the gaffer to give me the opportunity but nothing's really going to change," Cohen told Sky Sports News.

"I still get caned off all the lads about it, which I knew I would, but I'm looking forward to it and it's a nice thing for the family to see me being captain."

Forest begin their Championship campaign this Saturday with a home clash against Huddersfield Town.
