Nottingham Forest Academy can confirm that Joel Thompson has departed the Club.

The 19-year-old, who joined Forest from Crusaders in 2022, has moved on as he pursues opportunities elsewhere.

Head of Academy Chris McGuane said: "On behalf of everyone at Nottingham Forest I would like to say thank you and wish Joel all the very best with his future career. 

"Joel is fantastic person who has conducted himself superbly during his time here and we have throughly enjoyed having him with us since moving across from Northern Ireland."
