Nottingham Forest have extended Ola Aina’s contract by one year, keeping him at the club until 2025.

The 27-year-old defender joined Forest last summer as a free agent after he left Italian Serie A side Torino.

Aina scored his first and only goal for the club in a 2-0 home win over Aston Villa and also provided one assist in 22 matches last season.

The club announced on their official website on Tuesday that Nottingham Forest has activated a one-year extension in the defender’s contract.

“The 27-year-old has enjoyed a positive first season on Trentside, having joined the club on a free transfer last summer.”

“Aina, who can play as right-back or left-back, made 22 appearances for Forest this season, establishing himself as popular among supporters for his all-action displays on either side,” the club added.
