Nottingham Forest have confirmed that Neco Williams has signed a new four-year contract with the club. Williams, who transferred from Liverpool in 2022, was instrumental in securing European football for Forest last season. The 24-year-old played in 35 Premier League games during the 2024-25 season, scoring once and providing three assists as Forest secured a seventh-place finish.

Williams' previous contract was due to end in 2026, but he has now committed to Forest until 2029. He has made 107 appearances for the club across all competitions. "Everyone knows how ambitious our owner is, and I'm grateful to him for showing belief in me and showing belief in the club. The future is exciting," Williams expressed on Forest's website.

In the Premier League, no defender created more chances than Williams (18) or matched his successful crosses (13), which he shares with Ola Aina. His contributions were vital for Nuno Espirito Santo's team. "I am really happy here, and I can't wait to get back to work and go again," Williams added.

The fans at Nottingham Forest have been supportive since his arrival, according to Williams. "For us, it's a privilege to be playing for a football club with fans like the Forest fans," he said. The team is eager to create more memorable moments for everyone associated with the club.

This contract extension marks Nottingham Forest's first transfer activity as they gear up for their first European campaign since the 1994-95 season. Owner Evangelos Marinakis stated, "Nottingham Forest is a club for ambitious players; people who want to grow with us on our exciting journey and create special memories."

Marinakis further commented on Williams' alignment with the club's vision: "Neco shares our vision for the direction we are going as a club, and he is a key part of our team." The upcoming Premier League season will see Forest face Brentford at home on August 17.

The anticipation of European nights at City Ground excites both players and supporters alike. As they prepare for this new chapter, Nottingham Forest aims to build on their recent successes and continue their upward trajectory in both domestic and international competitions.
