Lee Camp wants to play for NI

Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Lee Camp has said that he is keen to play for Northern Ireland.

English-born Camp, 26, qualifies for Northern Ireland through his Belfast-born grandfather.

He kept 19 clean sheets for Forest last season and played for England Under-21s but his hopes of earning a call-up to Fabio Capello's squad have been dashed.

"Hopefully I will be approved to play for Northern Ireland," Camp told the Sunday Life.

"The process has started. I have produced a birth certificate and things are moving along."

Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington has asked the Irish FA to set the wheels in motion on Camp's eligibility for his side.

Veteran Birmingham keeper Maik Taylor, 39, is the current Northern Ireland number one.

Forest showing an interest in Amari-Smith

Nottingham Forest are thought to be considering a move for England 'C' striker Amari Morgan-Smith, who is available on a free transfer after the demise of Ilkeston Town.

Division One side Carlisle United are also interested in the 21-year-old, who spent a fortnight with Derby County and played 45 minutes in two pre-season friendlies.

Nigel Clough never followed up with a bid but Ilkeston's former chairman, Gary Hodder, turned down a £15,000 offer from Luton Town before the Robins were wound up.

Since then, Morgan-Smith's contract has been declared null and void.
