However, he struggle for playing time and made just eight appearances. Shelvey did not star in any of Forest’s first four league games this term.
Shelvey will team up with former Forest teammate Emmanuel Dennis.
Rizespor are currently fifth in the Turkish top flight, having won two and drawn two of their opening four games.
Shelvey is a talented midfielder who has played for a number of top clubs in England.
However, he has struggled to find a consistent run of games in recent years.
He is hoping that a move to Rizespor will give him the opportunity to play regularly and rediscover his best form.
