Nottingham Forest have published the retained and released list following the conclusion of the 2020-2021 campaign. And they confirmed Sammy Ameobi should leave the club as his contract has expired.

The former Nigeria U20 international is thus in search for a new club following his release by the Championship outfit.

A product of the Newcastle United Academy, Ameobi joined Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2019 after a spell with Bolton Wanderers.

In two seasons at the City Ground, he mustered eight goals in 81 appearances while producing eleven assists.

On a personal level, the winger won the Championship Goal of the Month award for January 2021 for his second goal in the 3-1 win over Millwall.

Ameobi enjoyed loan spells at Middlesbrough, Cardiff City and Bolton Wanderers during his time with Newcastle United.

His brother, Shola Ameobi, was a member of the Super Eagles squad to the 2014 World Cup.
