Tudgay began his career at Derby

Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies says on-loan Sheffield Wednesday striker Marcus Tudgay will have a big impact at the City Ground.

Tudgay, who scored a debut goal in Saturday's win over Crystal Palace, is with the Reds until January when the move may become permanent.

"He's a player that will certainly help what we are trying to achieve here," Davies told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"He has excellent ability, tremendous experience and leads the line well."

The 27-year-old grabbed Forest's second in the convincing 3-0 home success over the struggling Eagles.

Davies added: "It is always important for a striker to get goals and it's nice for him to get off the mark. I'm very pleased for him."
