Wrexham confirm signing of midfielder Lewis O'Brien from Nottingham Forest
Lewis O'Brien has left Nottingham Forest to join Championship side Wrexham. The 26-year-old midfielder has led a nomadic existence since joining then newly promoted Forest in the summer of 2022, in a £10million package deal from Huddersfield, which also included Harry Toffolo. O'Brien has made 17 appearances for Forest, including six Premier League starts, amid loan spells with DC United, Middlesbrough, Los Angeles FC and Swansea. And he remained surplus to requirements under Nuno Espirito Santo, as Forest prepare for their fourth season back in the top flight. But he will now join Wrexham, who will compete in the second tier for the first time in 40 years in the coming campaign, after securing their third consecutive promotion. 'I'm absolutely buzzing. It's been a long time coming, but to be here is great,' O'Brien said in a statement on Wrexham's website. 'The last couple of years has been a whirlwind for me and my family, but to sign a long-term contract and find somewhere I can call home is a great feeling. Advertisement 'After speaking to everyone here, it's a club with a lot of ambition. I want to be part of that journey, and take Wrexham to where they want to be.' The Welsh side, managed by Phil Parkinson, will view O'Brien's experience in the Championship – where he has played with three different clubs – as a valuable asset.

Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Last year, the 29-year-old was named as an ambassador for Tricky to Talk – Nottingham Forest Community Trust's mental health programme – having attended several Tricky Hubs and Bottled Up Blokes sessions, speaking about his own history with mental health whilst actively listening to participants who share similar struggles. 'Toffolo also attended a number of Community Trust's Soccer Schools visits, helping to inspire the next generation of aspiring footballers, and his off-the-pitch contributions were rightly recognised as he was named the Club's PFA Community Champion in the 2023/24 season. 'Toffolo, who made a total of 57 appearances for Forest, produced an outstanding goal-line clearance in Forest's 2-1 away victory at Tottenham Hotspur in April – a win that proved to be crucial in the Reds' pursuit of European football for the first time in 30 years. 'The defender's first and only goal for the Club in a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers in December 2023 meant that he has scored in each of England's top four divisions, outlining his impressive rise up the footballing pyramid.
