Hide AdManager Steve Evans told the club website: "The opportunity to sign Danny came up after I became aware that he’d been in negotiations with two other Championship clubs and we met up with him and had a chat.
“We’ve had a wonderful opportunity to bring him in for a year with the option of extending that if Danny proves to be as good as I think he can be.
“The main thing is that he’s hungry and he likes what we’re trying to do here so he’ll come in and play a major part.
“He’s big, he’s strong and he’s aggressive and quick. He talks well and he can organise the defence so he will be a very good addition.
“I got the benefit of being able to watch him live a couple of times for Forest last season and he was simply outstanding."
