5 other players to have played for both Derby County and Nottingham Forest after Tyrese Fornah switch

Fornah has crossed a big divide moving from The City Ground to Pride Park

Tyrese Fornah has entered a unique group of players this summer, after completing a move from Nottingham Forest to Derby County.

Having joined the club’s academy back in 2018, the midfielder went on to make four first-team appearances for Forest, while also spending time out on loan in Portugal with Casa Pia, and in the Football League with Shrewsbury Town, Plymouth Argyle and Reading.

Now, however, the midfielder has secured a permanent departure from Forest, by making a short trip across the East Midlands to join Derby County on a two-year contract that secures his future at Pride Park until the end of the 2024/25 season.

Given the intense nature of the local rivalry between Derby and Forest, there are not many players who have preceded Fornah in pulling on the shirts of both clubs during their careers.

Here though, we’ve taken a look at five players who did in fact play for both Derby County and Nottingham Forest, and how they fared during their time at Pride Park, and The City Ground.

Dexter Blackstock

Blackstock’s spell with Derby was a brief one, as he scored three times in nine games for the club during a spell on loan from Southampton during the 2005/06 season.

After joining QPR at the end of that campaign, the striker made a loan move to Forest in March 2009, a move that was made permanent later that same year. In total, Blackstock would make 187 appearances and score 45 goals for Forest before mutually terminating his contract in September 2016, with the striker retiring the following summer after a single season with Rotherham United.
