Huge Nottingham Forest contract boost while Brice Samba transfer edging closer

Nottingham Forest have released their home kit for the 2022/23 season.

After victory over Huddersfield Town at Wembley in May, the Reds are back in the top-flight for the first time in more than two decades. And there has been much anticipation about the shirt they will wear.

The design features a pattern inspired by the one featured on Trent Bridge. The shirt will be available to pre-order from 5pm today.

The club say: “Created by Technical Partners Macron and available to pre-order from later today, the history-making shirt is steeped in Nottingham Forest traditions with the design inspired by the ironworks pattern of the iconic Trent Bridge. Known to football fans around the world, crossing Trent Bridge is a journey that has been made by hundreds of thousands of Forest fans dating back to the club’s move to the City Ground on 3 September 1898. The two-tone Trent Bridge pattern is featured on the red shirt sleeves and it is complemented, for the first time in 23 years, by the Premier League badge.

Brennan Johnson has put pen to paper on a new deal at Nottingham Forest, the club have confirmed.

The news will come as a massive boost to the Reds who are preparing for life in the Premier League in the upcoming season. He played a big part in the success of Forest in the play-offs as they overcame Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town to earn a place in the top division.

Johnson was the subject of interest from the Premier League back in January, with Forest rebuffing offers from Brentford during the winter window. Promotion to the Premier League now means that Johnson will remain at the City Ground for the significant future.
