Another player about whom Forest have high hopes for the future.

An energetic midfielder with a keen eye for goal, he made 28 appearances last season - including 16 starts - and scored three times, including a precious match-winner at Crystal Palace.

Nottingham born and bred, he's a graduate of the Forest Academy system.

He made his debut during the 2007-08 season ... and wasted little time in opening his goal account for the club at senior level.

He was on target in a 4-0 demolition of Leyton Orient and doubled his tally two months later with a precious equaliser against Southend.

Both of those goals were scored after he had joined the action as a substitute but Thornhill also started five games and impressed many observers with the maturity of his displays.

The former Academy product made his debut as a substitute in a Carling Cup tie at Chester in August '07 and just days later stepped off the bench to make his first appearance in League One against Swansea at The Liberty Stadium.

He is currently on loan at Cheltenham Town until the end of the season.
