Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Dylan Burns believes he has benefited from being at the club, despite being released in the summer. Burns earned himself a two deal with the Championship side after impressing in a trial during his time at the Nike Academy.
“I learnt a lot at Nottingham Forest, but the main thing I learnt was that you have to be mentally strong in order to make it to the top. You have to really want it and you have to do everything in your power in order to stay in that environment,” said Burns on his experience at Nottingham Forest.
Burns joined Nottingham Forest in 2014, but only played for the U18s and U21s during his time in England. After spending a loan spell with Grantham Town last season, the New Zealander returned to his home country to sign for Tasman United.
