Latest Nottingham Forest transfer news as midfielder Braian Ojeda joins Real Salt Lake on a permanent basis

Nottingham Forest midfielder Braian Ojeda has joined Major League Soccer side Real Salt Lake on a permanent basis.

The 23-year-old joined them on loan a year ago, making 34 appearances for the team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The two clubs have now agreed to make his stay a permanent one.

After joining Forest from Olimpia in 2021, he made just three appearances for the Reds, all coming in the Championship during the 2021-22 season. Forest wished him well in a statement confirming his departure on Tuesday.

Speaking after completing his transfer, signing Ojeda said: “I am very happy to have my situation resolved and am excited to remain with Real Salt Lake.

This club has become my family here, as I have grown as both a person and a player during my year in Utah. I will do everything I can to help the team reward our great fans this year with trophies in Leagues Cup, Open Cup and later in the MLS Cup playoffs.

His new team’s general manager Elliot Fall added: “Braian has established himself both as an instrumental piece of our current group, and a key building block for our club moving forward.

“We are thrilled to be able to make his transfer permanent, and we look forward to his continued growth and development in Salt Lake.”

Make no mistake – Nottingham Forest’s return to the Premier League was a roaring success.
