England youth international Ben Brereton has signed a new long-term deal with Nottingham Forest.

The 18-year-old forward emerged at The City Ground last season, scoring three times including the winner against Aston Villa in February, having only come into the first team at the turn of the year.

The England Under-19 international has now pledged his future to Forest, penning terms until 2021.

He told the club website: “I am delighted to have signed a new contract. It is a great club to be at and I can’t wait to find out what the future holds.

It was good last year to breakthrough into the first team. It was tough as well but people believed in me and I was given my opportunity and thankfully I took it.”
