Chris Wood signs 2 year deal with Nottingham Forest

The New Zealand forward has scored 14 Premier League goals to help Forest climb to third in the table.

In January 2023, the 33-year-old Wood made his Forest debut on loan from Newcastle; before the end of the season, the agreement was permanent.

According to the Forest club website, Wood stated, “I am very excited and very happy to have it completed and done, and I am looking forward to the next couple of years, at least.”

“I saw the ambition when I first arrived. When I spoke to the owner and his family and saw where they want to be and where they see this club to be – it was clear they have high ambitions and big dreams.

“He has backed the club for years, even before promotion to the Premier League, which is fantastic, and the team is pushing in the right direction.

“I am excited for the future. This club has a lot of potential to continue to grow and build, and that is what I want to be a part of.”

Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of the forest, believes that Wood’s upbeat outlook has contributed significantly to his accomplishments thus far.

“He has done a fantastic job with us. Beyond his objectives, he embodies all that it means to wear the Garibaldi Red: perseverance, a spirit of hard work and victory, and the mindset to never give up,” Marinakis added.

“He is a winner and a role model to inspire all of us and we reward his dedication with ours.”
