Kenyan prospect signs for Forest
Okello Bartley has put pen to paper on his first professional contract at Nottingham Forest, according to Pulse Sports, and the Kenyan youngster now finds himself attached to a club sitting in the Premier League proper rather than knocking on its door.

Okello Bartley has put pen to paper on his first professional contract at Nottingham Forest, according to Pulse Sports, which did not detail his age, position or how he arrived at the City Ground, so the full shape of his pathway is still to be filled in.
What's clear is the symbolism: a Kenyan player tied to a Premier League club's books is rare, and every name that does it widens the door for whoever comes next from East Africa. Forest have been busy in the market this window, which tends to make a first-team route for any academy prospect a long one.
Still, a signed contract is a signed contract, and that's the headline for now.
Will Okello Bartley make a first-team appearance for Forest this season?
