In his final interview as a Nottingham Forest player, Harry Toffolo thanked the fans and admitted it is tough to leave a club that has given him so much.
The 29-year-old confirmed earlier this month he would not be extending his contract.
Toffolo joined the Reds in 2022 after Forest won promotion to the Premier League and went on to make 50 appearances for the club.
“It was easy at the start really because I’ve been on holiday, but now I’ve come back and seen the city. You see the familiar faces – people you have built relationships with. They’ve come into your life at an important time – I’ve helped them and they’ve helped me,” an emotional Toffolo told Forest TV.
“It’s tough but wherever I go next, I’m excited for the future. I’m very, very grateful for this football club. It moved me when I was driving through the gate into the players’ car park for probably the last time.
“This football club has given me so much. The fans… you have no idea what you have done [for me].”
Forest finished seventh in the Premier League last season and secured European football in the process, with the Conference League coming to the City Ground next season.
And although he is leaving, Toffolo is optimistic about the future for the club.
“The facilities are incredible and you can really see a Premier League club now that’s only going to get stronger and stronger. The club really has come a long way.”
