Chris Wood has signed a two-year contract extension with Nottingham Forest until 2027.

The New Zealand forward has scored 14 Premier League goals to help Forest climb to third in the table.

Wood, 33, initially joined Forest on loan from Newcastle in January 2023, with the deal becoming permanent at the end of the season.

'I am very excited and very happy to have it completed and done, and I am looking forward to the next couple of years, at least,' Wood said on the Forest club website.

'I saw the ambition when I first arrived. When I spoke to the owner and his family and saw where they want to be and where they see this club to be - it was clear they have high ambitions and big dreams.

'He has backed the club for years, even before promotion to the Premier League, which is fantastic, and the team is pushing in the right direction.

'I am excited for the future. This club has a lot of potential to continue to grow and build, and that is what I want to be a part of.'

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis feels Wood's positive attitude has played a big part in his achievements so far.

'He has performed exceptionally well with us. More than just his goals, he epitomises everything that it means to wear the Garibaldi Red - hard work, a fighting and wining spirit, and the attitude to never give up,' Marinakis said.

'He is a winner and a role model to inspire all of us and we reward his dedication with ours.'
