Defender Neco Williams has signed a new contract at Nottingham Forest until 2030.

The club had been looking to extend the Wales international's contract, despite him only signing another last summer.

It is essentially a one-year extension with his previous deal expiring in 2029.

Tottenham had been interested but Forest were looking for a significant fee and Williams, 25, has now committed his future to the City Ground.

George Syrianos, chief football officer, said: "Neco has been one of the best players in his position in the Premier League.

"His reliability, consistency and continued determination to improve explain why he has become such a loved player by both his team-mates and the supporters.

"We want to continue developing and growing as a club, and a big part of that process is making sure our top-performing players are committed to the club.

"We are delighted he has signed a new deal and look forward to seeing him continue in a Forest shirt."

Left-back Williams has made 163 appearances for Forest, scoring four goals, since arriving from Liverpool for £17m in 2022.
