Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Chelsea forward Aimee Claypole on a permanent deal.

The Tricky Trees announced the news via a post on their official club website this afternoon.

The 19-year-old attacker is a product of the Chelsea academy system. She went on to make her senior debut for the club before going out on loan to gain first team experience. Claypole spent time with former second tier club Lewes and Norwegian side Linköping FC before joining Durham on loan for the second half of last season.

On the international stage, Claypole has represented England at various youth levels.

After adding Claypole to her squad, Nottingham Forest head coach Carly Davies said “We are so pleased Aimee has joined us. Securing her signing is another statement of intent for the impact we’re looking to have in the WSL2.

“Aimee is an exciting player, someone who has an eye for goal and we are confident she will add something different to the team. She has fantastic experience for a player of her age, and we’re looking forward to welcoming her to our group and seeing the impact she has on the team.”

Further Nottingham Forest squad news will be revealed in due course.
