Nottingham Forest youngster Alex Mighten has put pen to paper on a two-year scholarship with the club.

The 16-year-old winger, who has represented England at both Under-15 and Under-16 level, has also agreed a two-and-a-half year professional deal which will commence on his 17th birthday.

Mighten was a regular starter for the club’s Under-18 side last season and his impressive performances also saw him make a number of appearances for the Under-23s.
