Neco Williams Liverpool
Defender Neco Williams has solidified his future with Nottingham Forest by signing a new contract that extends his stay at the club until the summer of 2029. This announcement comes as a significant boost for the Reds, as Williams’ previous contract was set to expire in 2026. Since joining Forest from Liverpool three years ago, Williams has made over 100 appearances and was instrumental in the team’s impressive seventh-place finish in the Premier League last season, which secured them a spot in European competition.
Neco Williams said: “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. I am really happy here and I can’t wait to get back to work and go again. The fans at this club are special and they have supported me since the day I joined. For us, it’s a privilege to be playing for a football club with fans like the Forest fans.”
Owner Evangelos Marinakis said: “Nottingham Forest is a club for ambitious players; people who want to grow with us on our exciting journey and create special memories. Neco shares our vision for the direction we are going as a club and he is a key part of our team.”
Chief football officer Ross Wilson added: “Neco has established himself as an important member of our squad. Still only 24, he’s already got great experience with over 100 games in the Premier League. As well as his quality, he also brings personality and versatility to the team. Neco has earned this extended contract, and we are all now looking forward to seeing him continue to develop and help us grow ahead of an exciting season. He is extremely ambitious, and I know how excited he and his family are to continue this journey at Nottingham Forest.”
Williams’ contract extension is a testament to his value and impact at Nottingham Forest. His versatility and experience at a young age make him a vital asset to the squad. The club’s commitment to securing key players like Williams, along with earlier deals for centre-back Murillo and striker Chris Wood, underscores their ambition to build a competitive team capable of challenging on multiple fronts. With owner Evangelos Marinakis’ ambitious vision and the support of passionate fans, Forest aims to continue their upward trajectory in the Premier League and European competitions.
