Mansfield sign Forest midfielder McAdam on loan

Kyle McAdam captained Nottingham Forest's B team on a number of occasions last season

Mansfield Town have signed Nottingham Forest midfielder Kyle McAdam on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old's move to the Reds' Nottinghamshire neighbours coincides with him signing a new one-year deal with the top-flight club, which keeps him contracted to Forest until the summer of 2027.

McAdam is yet to make a first-team appearance for his boyhood club, featuring at junior and youth levels before establishing himself in the Under-21 side - also known as its B team - that plays in Premier League 2.

He was part of the B team that won the Premier League International Cup in May, with the Reds claiming the title at their City Ground home after beating French side Lyon on penalties in the final.

While McAdam also got experience playing against English Football League opposition last season by featuring for Forest's Under-21 side in EFL Trophy, his loan with the Stags in League One will expose him to competitive first-team football for the first time.

His move to Mansfield also means he will be playing under former Nottingham Forest and England striker Nigel Clough.

"He has great energy, stamina and will give us a lot of versatility down the left-hand side, whether at left-back, left-wing back or left midfield, and is someone with a lot of potential," Clough told the club website.
