Ola Aina joined Nottingham Forest from Torino two years ago Defender Ola Aina has signed a three-year deal with Nottingham Forest. The Nigeria full-back had one year left on his previous contract but is now tied down until 2028. The 28-year-old played a key role in helping Forest finish seventh in the Premier League last season to qualify for the Europa Conference League play-offs. "I can't wait to continue this journey with the club. It's always felt like a home ever since I joined and I'm happy to be here, " he said. "Now my focus is on preparing for the new season well and getting back to hard work. " Aina, who started his career at Chelsea, joined from Torino on a free transfer two years ago and has made 59 appearances, scoring twice. He is the latest player to commit his future to Forest this year as the club ties down its key men. Neco Williams penned a new deal last week while in January last season's 20-goal top-scorer Chris Wood and defender Murillo also signed fresh terms. Last month, manager Nuno Espirito Santo was rewarded for returning Forest to Europe for the first time since 1995-96 with a new three-year contract. Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis added: "Ola has skill, determination and character in abundance. "He epitomises the culture and hard work we expect from everyone associated with Forest. "He has had a big influence since his arrival here and we look forward to continuing that journey together to help us achieve incredible things.
