Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce that Fuad Smith has signed his first professional contract with the Club, penning a three-year deal.
The midfielder joined Forest in 2017 as a 10-year-old, and this season has scored twice and been a regular starter in the U18 Premier League.
His performances at U18 level earned him a place on the bench for the B Team’s Vertu Trophy game at Morecambe in October.
Head of Academy Chris McGuane said “We are delighted that Fuad has signed his first professional contract at the Club having been with us for over seven years in the Academy. It is a moment both he and his family can cherish in recognition of his development as a player and person during his time with us.
“Fuad is a player who is an exciting attacking talent, with the ability to create goal scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. He has an exciting future in front of him and we look forward to seeing and being a part of his development for the next three years.”
