Former Nottingham Forest man reveals 'mental' sliding doors moment before £14m transfer

Matty Cash has revealed he could have stayed at Nottingham Forest in 2020 if they had earned promotion to the Premier League.

The Reds were on course to reach the Championship play-offs in 2020 under Sabri Lamouchi after an impressive season. However, Forest failed to win in their final six games of the season and dropped out of the top six on the final day following a 4-1 home defeat to Stoke City.

Swansea City's 4-1 win on the same evening at Reading lifted Steve Cooper's side above Forest and Cash joined a long list of players that departed in the following summer. The 25-year-old joined Premier League side Aston Villa for £14m and has made 74 appearances for the West Midlands outfit.
