Exclusive: Nottingham Forest 21-yr-old agrees Dundee move
Yesterday at 04:31 AM
Nottingham Forest defender Aaron Donnelly has agreed a move to Dundee in a permanent deal, sources have told Football Insider.
Donnelly, 21, is currently on loan at Colchester United, but Forest are set to cancel his loan early to sell him to the Scottish Premiership side.
The centre-back enjoyed a spell on loan at Dundee last season and they tried to sign him in the summer but failed to get a deal over the line.
They have now renewed their interest in the Northern Ireland international with Forest willing to let him leave as he is out of contract at the City Ground at the end of the season.
Donnelly has made 22 appearances across all competitions for Colchester in the first half of the 2024-25 campaign, including 17 outings in League Two.
He has been a regular starter for the fourth-tier outfit in recent months as they battle against relegation from the Football League.

The 21-year-old spent made 21 appearances for Scottish Premiership outfit Dundee last term and also had a spell with Port Vale in League One.
Donnelly made his senior Northern Ireland debut against Andorra in June and is a regular for the Under-21 side.
He played just once for Nottingham Forest’s senior side – a 90-minute outing in the League Cup against Grimsby Town in 2022.
The defender has been at the City Ground since leaving Northern Irish outfit Dungannon Swifts in 2019.
