Nottingham Forest can confirm that midfielder Ben Perry has joined Northampton Town on loan for the rest of the season.
The 20-year-old midfielder has been a key part of the B Team again this season, racking up 10 appearances in the PL 2 and captaining the side in all three of the EFL Trophy group stage fixtures.
To continue his development, he now heads to the League One side for his first professional loan.
Craig Mulholland, Head of Football Development & Talent Management, said: “We are excited to see Ben take this next important stage in his journey which started at Forest at the age of 9. Ben has been exceptional in Warren and Lewis’s B Team over the last 12 months, and this new challenge in senior football will build upon the exposure to men’s football he’s had in our excellent games programme, via the EFL and National League competitions.
“Chris Brass, Owen Coyle and our wider player pathways team will now support Ben on his first loan and will ensure we are connected with the club and the player via regular contacts, and analysis of all of the available data.
“We wish Ben all the best for the remainder of the season and look forward to working with our friends at Northampton Town.”
