Ethan Horvath never gave up hope of getting another chance for Nottingham Forest. And having been handed an opportunity, he has been determined to make the most of it.
The American goalkeeper signed for the Reds in the summer but has mostly had to settle for warming the bench as Brice Samba has continued to be first-choice.
Horvath was selected for the Carabao Cup ties against Bradford City and Wolverhampton Wanderers at the start of the season, then endured a tough night on his league debut in what proved to be Chris Hughton’s final match in charge, against Middlesbrough in September.
