Chris Wood Proving His Worth at Nottingham Forest

Chris Wood isn’t the flashiest striker in the Premier League, but he’s doing exactly what Forest needs — scoring important goals.

The veteran New Zealand forward has stepped up in key moments this season, using his strength and positioning to great effect. Whether starting or coming off the bench, Wood gives Forest a focal point up top.

While he doesn’t run the channels like younger strikers, he knows where to be inside the box. His movement and heading ability remain top class, and defenders know they can’t switch off around him.

Manager Nuno Espírito Santo appreciates his experience and composure, often using him in tight matches where one goal makes all the difference.

In a squad packed with younger talent, Wood is the seasoned finisher who’s quietly making sure Forest stays competitive.
