Alex Mighten has been backed to play a part for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this coming season.
The 20-year-old attacker found regular game time hard to come by last term, amid injury troubles and competition for places in a winning team. But Reds head coach Steve Cooper has always been a staunch supporter of the Nigel Doughty Academy graduate, and believes he can contribute at the top level.
Mighten has impressed during Forest’s four summer friendlies so far. Against Coventry City, Burton Albion, Barnsley and Hertha Berlin he has looked lively and made an impact from off the bench.
