Confirmed: Nottingham Forest trigger one-year extension in the contract of Super Eagles defender Aina

Nottingham Forest have announced that they have exercised a one-year extension option in Ola Aina's contract, ensuring the talented full-back will remain at the club for another season. 

Since joining the club on a free transfer last summer, the Nigerian international has made 22 appearances for the two-time European champions, showcasing his versatility and tenacity on either side of the defense.

One of the highlights of Aina's season was scoring his first goal for Forest in a 2-0 home win over Aston Villa, a moment that will undoubtedly remain etched in his memory. 

Additionally, his impressive form on the pitch has been complemented by his success on the international stage, where he helped Nigeria reach the final of the Africa Cup of Nations and was subsequently named in the Team of the Tournament.

Expressing his delight at the contract extension, Ola Aina told the club's official website, "I've been really happy with my time spent here at Forest, and the fans have been great. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the future holds."

Chief Football Officer Ross Wilson also shared his thoughts on the extension, saying, "Since Ola joined the club last summer, he has impressed all of us with his performances both on the pitch and also with the positive personality that he brings to the group every day. We are delighted that he will move forward with us."
