Nottingham Forest is pleased to announce that Dale Taylor has signed a new three-year deal with the Club.
The forward will also spend the rest of the season on loan in Sky Bet League One with Wigan Athletic.
Taylor, 20, spent last season on loan at Wycombe Wanderers, making 51 appearances in all competitions and scoring nine goals, including a strike at Wembley in the EFL Trophy Final.
That loan spell came on the back of another season in League One with Burton Albion, scoring five times in 20 games for the Brewers.
The Northern Ireland international has received eight caps for his country, scoring two goals in two games in Premier League 2 so far this season.
Dale Taylor said: "I've developed a lot both on and off the pitch at Forest and this new deal is a reflection of my hard work.
"I'm really pleased to sign and am now focussed on having a strong season at Wigan. I want to come back full of confidence and hopefully make an impression to get myself in the mix with the first team set up."
Head of Football Development and Talent Management, Craig Mulholland, said: "Individualising the pathway for each player is critical in talent development.
"So far Dale, has had two successful loans and this third carefully planned loan which, along with his international involvement with Northern Ireland, will provide the perfect stimulus at this stage in his journey.
"Our Player Pathways Manager, Chris Brass and his team have done excellent work enhancing our analysis of potential loan options, and also dramatically developing the MDT support the players receive when outside the building, and Dale will benefit from this.
"It was also important that we secured Dale’s long term future before the loan, and we are excited to see how Dale develops following the creation of a detailed and structured plan."
