Nottingham Forest’s U21s has produced a number of future Reds first-team players from their Under-21 side through the years. So, who are the club’s current group of talented prospects?
The Reds have seen a number of former academy talents breakthrough into their first-team, including captain Joe Worrall. Current Premier League aces Matty Cash and Jamaal Lascelles also came through their youth fold. While Michael Dawson also started at the City Ground.
