Englishman with Ghanaian descent Callum Hudson-Odoi has committed his long-term future to Nottingham Forest, signing a new three-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2028.
The 24-year-old winger has become an integral figure at the City Ground since arriving from Chelsea in September 2023, playing a key role in Forest’s qualification for European football in the 2024/25 campaign. Last season, he featured in 31 Premier League matches, his highest appearance tally in a single league season, and made headlines with decisive goals against Manchester City and Liverpool, including the strike that secured Forest’s first win at Anfield in 55 years.
Hudson-Odoi’s journey to Nottingham came after a loan spell in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen in 2022/23, where he gained Bundesliga and Champions League experience. In total, he has made 72 appearances for Forest across all competitions, scoring 14 goals and providing six assists. He has already opened his account for the 2025/26 campaign with a well-taken goal away at Crystal Palace on Matchday two.

Speaking to the club after signing his extension, Hudson-Odoi expressed his affection for the club and its supporters:
“This is home, and I’ve enjoyed every moment. I appreciate all the support and love I’ve been getting since day one, and coming here has helped me in every way possible. We have such an amazing group, and I can’t wait to keep going and enjoy the journey.”
Nottingham Forest’s Chief Football Officer Ross Wilson praised the winger’s contribution both on and off the pitch, highlighting the importance of tying him down to a new deal:
“It has been a busy summer for all of us here at Nottingham Forest. As well as strengthening our squad, we have also been active in extending contracts of the core of the team that has put us in this exciting position as a key part of our strategy”.
“We all love Callum and from the first second we met back in 2023 to discuss him joining the club it has been a pleasure to work with him. Everyone knows how important he has been on the pitch, but he also plays a big role off it. He is popular amongst all of our players and staff, and we’re delighted he has committed to the Club signing this new deal. We are sure there’s more great moments to come from Callum,” he added.
A message from @Calteck10 to you. ❤️
