Midfielder Tyrese Fornah has returned to the newly-promoted Premier League side Nottingham Forest following the end of his loan spell.

Fornah, 22, is a Sierra Leone native who signed for  Shrewsbury Town on 18 January 2022 on loan until the end of the season.

Manager Steve Cooper will evaluate his side ahead of the 2022/2023 campaign. The central midfielder, who started the season playing in Nottingham Forest’s Under-23s before making three first-team appearances, including a Sky Bet Championship debut against Blackburn back in August, must convince his boss to be part of the Forest Premier League side.

Fornah, who put up a named man-of-the-match in Forest’s 2-1 win over Bradford City in the Carabao Cup, while on loan, featured in nineteen English League one matches for Shrewsbury Town. 

His last match was against Wigan Athletic in the English Football League – League One, when the match result was a 0-3 Shrewsbury Town home loss on the 30th of April.

The Reds return to the Premier League after 23 years away thanks to a 1-0 win against Huddersfield at Wembley on Sunday.

Huddersfield’s Levi Colwill’s misfortune of putting the ball through his own in the 43rd minute means Forest will play in the top flight for the first time since 1999.

Fornah posted a picture on Instagram of his locker and Reds training gear with the message “nice to be back”. And he added a heart emoji for a good message.

We did it, #Together. ❤️
