Nottingham Forest academy graduate scores first goal since leaving permanently

Nottingham Forest allowed Will Swan to join Mansfield Town on a permanent basis in the summer. Last night, he got himself off the mark for 2023/24 as the Stags reached the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.

Nigel Clough had Swan on loan from Forest last season. Despite picking up an injury that ruled him out of the business end of the campaign, he still managed to score 10 goals.

That was enough to convince Clough that Swan had something about him and could do a job for Mansfield. Now, he’s up and running for the new season after his goal last night.

Swan off the mark for Mansfield

This will definitely be a weight off the shoulders of the striker. He’s only started three games in League Two this season and he will be craving more starts.

Swan scored his first goal of the new campaign from the penalty spot in the fourth minute. After being fouled in the box, he dusted himself down and dispatched his spot-kick.
