Gareth Bale gave his dad a call after getting onto the First Team. On hearing that Forest was offering a professional contract, Bale's father did not wait for him to finish his words before dropping the phone and driving from Cardiff to Nottingham in a rush.
Still, he needed time to get all the way here. Tang En and Bale could not possibly just sit and wait in the office. So, even though they had not officially signed the professional contract, Tang En brought Bale to the training grounds to introduce him to the members of Forest's First Team.
Wes Morgan was delighted to see yet another player from the Youth Team coming to join them. Although he did not have much status on the First Team, he was still happy to help the newly arrived boy.
Tang En washed his hands of the matter after making the introductions; with a push, he passed Bale off to his team members.
