As the transfer window heats up, Nottingham Forest supporters eagerly watch over their departed academy prospects to see how they fare away from the team’s home base. Harry Toffolo’s exit was confirmed in the recent retained list, while other academy talents remain uncertain about their future at the club.
With the addition of the UEFA Conference League for the upcoming season, local talents like Zach Abbott could potentially see more playing time. Forest has high hopes for Abbott, but the reality is that the end of a season can mark the end of a young player’s time with the team.
One player, who had spent over a decade at the City Ground, recently announced his departure and has now found a new home in senior football. Sam Collins, who left Forest after suffering a leg injury in 2023, has now signed with King’s Lynn Town in the National League North, a team that made it to the playoff positions last season.
Excited about his new opportunity, Collins expressed his happiness about joining King’s Lynn Town and is looking forward to the upcoming season. Despite the challenges he faced towards the end of his time at Forest, Collins remains optimistic about his future with his new club.
In a recent interview, Collins opened up about the struggles he faced due to his injury, acknowledging the difficult period he went through. Despite the setbacks, he remains positive about his new beginning and sees this opportunity as a chance to showcase his skills once again. While he may have envisioned playing at a higher level, Collins is determined to make the most of his time at King’s Lynn Town and rediscover his form on the pitch.
