James McAtee became a Nottingham Forest player in the summer of 2025, arriving on Trentside from Manchester City.
A creative midfielder with an eye for goal, McAtee has scored seven times in 34 appearances for his boyhood club. He enjoyed two successful spells on loan at Sheffield United from 2022, playing 75 times for the Blades, scoring 14 times and registering eight assists.
It was a season of firsts for the midfielder in 2024/25, who netted his first Premier League goal for City, scored his first career hat-trick in the FA Cup third round, and opened his account on Europe’s biggest stage with a goal on his second appearance in the Champions League.
With nearly 50 appearances in the Premier League and having captained Lee Carsley’s winning side this summer, the midfielder already has a wealth of experience at the highest level.
