Thursday, May 23, 2024 - Nottingham Forest Football Club of England has announced that wing-back, Ola Aina will be with the club for another season.
Aina was an integral part of Nigeria’s silver-winning team
at the AFCON 2023 last February. He also played a major role in Forest’s
last-gasp escape from relegation in the just-concluded season.

Aina has made 22 appearances for the two-time European champions, showcasing
his versatility and tenacity either as a right back or left back.
One of the highlights of Aina’s season was scoring his first
goal for Forest in a 2-0 home win over Aston Villa.
He also helped Nigeria reach the final of the Africa Cup of
Nations and was subsequently named in the Team of the Tournament.
Expressing his delight at the contract extension, Ola Aina
told the club’s official website, “I’ve been really happy with my time spent
here at Forest, and the fans have been great. I’m looking forward to seeing
what the future holds.”
Chief Football Officer, Ross Wilson, Said;
“Since Ola joined the club
last summer, he has impressed all of us with his performances both on the pitch
and also with the positive personality that he brings to the group every day.
We are delighted that he will move forward with us.”
