Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 49869, member: 636"] Nottingham Forest locked down defender Ola Aina with a fresh three-year contract that keeps him at the club until 2028. The Nigerian star had just one season remaining on his previous deal before Forest bosses moved fast to secure his signature. Aina helped the team achieve their best Premier League finish last campaign when they grabbed seventh place. The impressive result earned Forest a spot in the Europa Conference League playoffs for the first time in decades. The 28-year-old full-back became a fan favorite since arriving from Italian side Torino two summers ago. Forest grabbed Aina on a free transfer when his Torino contract expired back in 2022. The defender started his professional career at Chelsea before moving to Italy and eventually landing at the City Ground. Aina has appeared in 59 matches for Forest and found the net twice during his time with the club. His solid defensive work and attacking runs down the flank made him a key player for manager Nuno Espirito Santo. The Portuguese coach also signed a new three-year deal last month after guiding Forest back to European competition. Several other Forest players penned new contracts recently as the club builds for the future. Wales international Neco Williams agreed to extended terms just last week. Striker Chris Wood and defender Murillo both committed to longer deals earlier this year after strong performances. Club owner Evangelos Marinakis praised Aina for his work ethic and leadership qualities that match Forest values perfectly. [/QUOTE]
