Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall today shared his first public words as a Besiktas player.
The 27-year-old has just arrived in Istanbul ahead of his half-season spell, and when quoted by Sports Digitale, he sounds very confident about the qualities he carries with him.
“Determination, strength, leadership. I think those are the main things I would bring to the football team. I work hard and I’m a warrior on the pitch,” said Worrall.
In other quotes brought by Asist Analiz, Worrall said it was the right time to leave Nottingham Forest.
It’s been eight and a half years since Worrall was promoted to Nottingham Forest’s first team. Although he was consistently part of their squad in the past few seasons, a loan isn’t something totally new to him, as he previously had temporary spells away.
It was from 2019 that he started consistently playing for the Tricky Trees, with a total of 226 appearances for the club. This season, however, he even began as a starter and their captain, but was soon dropped to the bench and leaves the club with only 544 minutes played in 2023/24.
Worrall’s contract with Nottingham Forest runs until 2026, although Besiktas will have a buying option over him.
