NICKY Forster has ruled out a return to action after landing the Brentford job on a permanent basis.
The veteran striker has made himself unavailable for selection since taking temporary charge at Griffin Park last month.
And the 37-year-old declared he won't be getting his boots back on after it was confirmed he will remain in the hotseat until the end of the season.
Forster said: "I won't be playing. I said that before and I stand by that as you can't do the two."
