Nottingham Forest are pleased to announce that Under 23s captain Riley Harbottle has signed a new deal with the club.
The 21-year-old, who has been on Forest's books since the foundation stage, has put pen to paper on a two-year contract at The City Ground.
Harbottle made his first team debut for The Reds against Bradford City in the first round of the Carabao Cup last season, as well as starting in the next round against Premier League side Wolves.
The central defender was also a key player for Andy Reid’s Under 23s side as The Reds qualified for the Premier League 2 Division 2 play-off semi-finals having finished fourth in their first season as a Category One outfit.
After signing his new contract, Harbottle said: “I’m delighted to sign a new contract.
“I just want to have a successful season and now everything is sorted, I’m buzzing to get pre-season underway.”
Under 23s Head Coach Andy Reid added: “We are delighted that Riley has signed a new contract with the club.
"He is somebody who has developed into a real leader and we are proud of how far he has come. He had a tough first half of last season but bounced back to have a really strong second half of the season.
“We are looking forward to helping him continue his development and potentially exploring the options for him to head out on loan.”
