Defender Williams signs new four-year deal with Forest

Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams has signed a new four-year contract which will keep him at the City Ground until the summer of 2029.

The 24-year-old Wales international joined Forest in July 2022 in a £17m switch from Liverpool and has made 107 appearances in all competitions for the Reds.

Williams, whose previous deal had been set to expire in 2026, helped the East Midlands club finish seventh in the Premier League last term as they secured a European spot for the first time since 1994-95, when they were third.

“This club has come so far in recent years, and I am proud to be on the journey,” said Williams.

“Everyone knows how ambitious our owner [Evangelos Marinakis] is, and I’m grateful to him for showing belief in me and showing belief in the club.

“The future is exciting. It’s a privilege to be playing for a football club with fans like the Forest fans.
