It has been 23 years since the City Ground saw Premier League football and with some smart recruitment this summer it feels like Forest will arrive in the top-flight with plenty of momentum.

The Verdict

Mighten only managed five league starts in 2021/22 and was actually more in favour under Chris Hughton, but his career prospects have certainly improved for working under Cooper and being involved in such a successful environment.

At some point next season, if his first team prospects become more distant, a Championship loan move could be considered and there would certainly be a market for a player of his type in the second tier.

It is no slight on Mighten's ability that Brennan Johnson has been preferred to him on a consistent basis this season and if it was not for the Welshman returning from his loan away in 2020/21.

Mighten would have seen far more regular minutes for the Reds.
