Norwich City defender Elliott Ward has returned to Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old spent two months at the City Ground earlier in the campaign before he was called back to Carrow Road at the end of December.
"Elliott is a big imposing centre-half so we look for him to be that and use all his experience," Forest manager Alex McLeish told the club's official website.
"He has been around quite a bit and knows the game."
Ward made 13 appearances for Forest during his previous spell with the Championship side.
