Forest Green Rovers are delighted to announce the loan signing of Jayden Richardson from Championship side Nottingham Forest.

The right wing-back completed the formalities of his switch to The New Lawn this afternoon, a contract which sees him sign on-loan until the end of the 2020/21 League Two season.

Born in Nottingham, he graduated through the youth ranks at Forest before signing his first professional contract with the club back in April 2019, and describes himself as a quick wing-back who likes to get into the final third.

At 20 years old, Richardson played a key-role in Exeter City’s play-off campaign last season – making 28 appearances for the Devon-based outfit, scoring twice.

On signing for Rovers, Richardson said: “It feels brilliant to get the deal done now, and I’m here and looking forward to getting out there and showing what I can do.

“I’ve watched the games and the highlights on YouTube, and I like the way the team plays, so hopefully I can add to that.

“Last season at Exeter we played with wing-backs, so it’s not a new system to me. I’ve got experience there and I want to show it in the games for Forest Green.”

Richardson will wear number 25 and is available for player kit sponsorship by contacting our team at partnerships@fgr.co.uk.
