About
Zach Abbott is an English defender on the books of Premier League club Nottingham Forest, having joined the academy at the age of eleven in 2017. A composed, no-nonsense centre-half, he came through the youth ranks and started the full 90 minutes as Forest reached their first-ever FA Youth Cup final, finishing runners-up to Manchester United at Old Trafford in May 2022. Abbott made his senior debut just months later, aged sixteen, in a 3-0 EFL Cup win over Grimsby Town in August 2022, and has since featured in major occasions including the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City in April 2025. He has also earned caps at England Under-19 level. Tipped as one of the brightest graduates of Forest’s academy, Abbott is contracted to the club until June 2029 and is reported to earn around £12,500 per week.
