Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Ethan Horvath says the prospect of regular game time was a key factor in his loan move to Luton Town.
And his previous experience of the atmosphere at Kenilworth Road helped seal the deal. The American was on the bench when the Reds made the trip to take on the Hatters in April, in a key clash which controversially ended in a 1-0 defeat. Horvath hopes that this coming season, however, he will be out there on the pitch.
The 27-year-old will spend the 2022/23 campaign with Nathan Jones’ side as Forest reshuffle their goalkeeping department. Dean Henderson’s arrival makes for a new No.1 at the City Ground, which would have left Horvath still in the role of back-up, despite the departure of Brice Samba. With a place in the US squad for this year’s World Cup on the line, the switch to Luton offers the chance to stake his claim for a seat on the plane to Qatar.
