Ola Aina Signs New Long-Term Contract With Nottingham Forest

Ola Aina has signed a new contract with Nottingham Forest, keeping him at the club until June 2028. This extension shows Forest’s plan to have a strong and reliable defense as they face challenges ahead.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Aina played a key role in Forest‘s defense last season and has agreed to new terms after a great Premier League campaign. The 27-year-old joined Forest in 2023 and quickly became a starter, playing 22 league games and impressing with his speed, versatility, and defensive skills. This new deal comes soon after fellow full-back Neco Williams also signed a long-term extension. It shows the club’s dedication to keeping the squad stable and consistent at the back.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST’S CURRENT SITUATION

Forest finished seventh in the Premier League last season, their best finish since returning to the top flight. The club spent much of the season in the top five and is now set to play European football for the first time in decades. With Aina and Williams secured, Forest is clearly preparing for a busy schedule and the demands of playing in continental competition. Their strong defensive record was essential to last season’s success and will be crucial again as they aim to keep improving.

Nottingham Forest finished seventh in the Premier League last season, earning a spot in the next UEFA Conference League.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR CLUB AND PLAYER?

With pre-season now underway, Forest is focused on building on last year’s success. Their first competitive match of the new season is a Premier League clash against Brentford, who finished just a few points point below Forest last season. The match is important, as both sides will start the season with high ambitions and a close race is expected for European spots. For Aina, this new contract offers security and a chance to help lead Forest into a new era of success both domestically and in Europe.
