Neco Williams won the Player of the Year award for Nottingham Forest, and it’s a travesty that he won’t be going to the World Cup.
Wales were beaten in the play-offs by Bosnia, and the wait for the Welsh to attend another World Cup goes on.

Williams played in the tournament as Wales qualified for the first time since 1958 in Qatar, but this time he will be forced to watch from home.
Still, there has been work for Williams to complete before his season draws to a close, and last night, the Forest star was in action as Wales took on Ghana.

Welsh media name Neco Williams as Man of the Match
Williams was in action for Wales as they rescued a late draw against their World Cup-bound opponents.
Ghana will be in England’s group at the tournament, and they scored first through Caleb Yirenkyi.
However, Lewis Koumas stepped up to equalise with four minutes of stoppage time already played to earn a draw from the game for Wales.
Williams was given 7/10 for his efforts and also claimed the Star Man accolade, which won’t come as a surprise to any Forest supporter.
Wales Online claimed: “Some really important defensive contributions. Also played an important role going forward down the right. Perhaps could have reacted better for the goal, but the cross for the equaliser was superb.”
Wales now face Romania on Saturday, before Williams will jet off on a well-deserved break to end his season.
🖊️Neco Williams is in talks over a new Nottingham Forest deal, but how would you grade him for his time at the club?
Forest fans awarded Williams the Player of the Year award for his efforts in 2025/26, and now he will need a bit of downtime before next season.
Williams has grown considerably over the last four years in the Garibaldi, and hopefully, a new contract will also be forthcoming in the coming weeks.
