Nottingham Forest are delighted to announce that striker Arvin Appiah has signed a professional contract with the club.

The 17-year-old has been a regular for both the Under 16s and the Under 18s during his time at the Nigel Doughty Academy and recently helped the Under 18s reach the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup with victory over Leicester City.

Appiah has also featured regularly for the Under 23s in the current campaign, scoring three goals for the side, and has earned international recognition after being called up by England at Under 17 level.
