Matthew "Matty" Cash is an English professional footballer who plays for Nottingham Forest as a midfielder.

Club career

Nottingham Forest

Cash signed with Nottingham Forest in October 2014, after spending 16-months with the Football Academy at Bisham Abbey.[3] He experienced his first games in professional football on loan at League Two Dagenham & Redbridge, having joined them on the 4 March 2016 on a one-month loan deal. He scored his first goal for the Daggers in a 3-1 defeat to Hartlepool United on 12 March.[4]

On 5 August, Cash signed a three year deal with Forest to keep him at the club until 2019.[5] He made his first team debut a day later, starting in a 4-3 win over Burton Albion.[6] Cash's early season form earned him praise, with former Forest defender Kenny Burns claiming that the midfielder's performances were putting those of some of the more experienced Forest players "to shame".[7] However, on only his fifth appearance for Forest, Cash sustained a fracture to his tibia at the beginning of a 2-2 draw away to Aston Villa on the 11 September which was expected to keep him out for three months.[8]

Cash made his return from injury on 25 November as a 79th minute substitute in a 5-2 defeat of Barnsley at Oakwell.[9] Three days later Cash was linked with a £5,000,000 transfer to Premier League giants Chelsea, although Forest owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi subsequently took to social media to deny that the midfielder would be sold in the January transfer window.[10][11]
