Ola Aina has signed a new, three-year contract at Nottingham Forest.
The Nigeria full-back was one of the stand-out performers in Forest’s seventh-placed finish in the Premier League last season.
No player in Europe’s top-five leagues won possession back in the defensive third more than Aina which, combined with his lung-bursting runs forward, saw him become a mainstay in the Forest defence, starting 35 of the club’s 38 games.

The 28-year-old said: “I’m over the moon, I can’t wait to continue this journey with the club. It’s always felt like a home ever since I joined and I’m happy to be here. Now my focus is on preparing for the new season well and getting back to hard work.”
Forest’s chief football officer Ross Wilson added: “Since the moment Ola joined the club, we have loved his influence and personality on the team. He’s someone we all enjoy working with every day.
“Everyone can see how much he gives the team on the pitch, and we also see every day what he brings off the pitch to our group. Ola shares our ambition and believes in the direction of the Club, and we are delighted he has further extended his time here.”
Aina joined Forest from Torino in 2023 and has made 59 appearances for the club in all competitions.
