Nottingham Forest vs Leeds: Players who have played for both clubs
Leeds and Nottingham Forest have quite a few players who have played for both teams.
Leeds travel to Forest on 9 November, looking to bounce back from the 3-0 defeat to Brighton last time out.
Karl Darlow, who will be in the Whites’ squad for the City Ground clash, is one player who has played on either side, as are Chris Wood and David Prutton.
MOT Leeds News looks at players that you may not remember who played for both teams.
Patrick Bamford
Patrick Bamford recently left Leeds after seven years in LS11, where he was beloved by Whites supporters.
Bamford made 205 appearances for Leeds, helping them win promotion to the Premier League on two separate occasions, both times as Championship winners.
He will go down in the history books as one of the best modern attackers for the Yorkshire outfit, with 60 goals and 25 assists in a storied career in the top two divisions with the Peacocks.
However, the 32-year-old came through the youth academy at Nottingham Forest in 2011, where he made just two senior appearances before he was sold to Chelsea.
Ross McCormack
Ross McCormack is another striker who is on the list of modern-day heroes for Peacocks supporters.
The Scottish sensation spent three seasons with the Whites from 2010-2013 and he notched 53 goals and 28 assists in 144 matches.
McCormack spent time on loan with Forest in 2016, featuring seven times with one goal and one assist for the City Ground outfit.
The 39-year-old would finish his career in non-league with Aldershot Town, Liversedge and Doncaster City before retiring in 2024.
Djed Spence
Djed Spence‘s time with Leeds will not go down in the history books.
The Tottenham and England star made seven appearances for the Whites before his loan was terminated in January 2024, with Daniel Farke admitting that it was due to concerns over his attitude.
He spent the 2021–2022 season on loan with Forest, playing a key role in their promotion-winning campaign, making 43 appearances.
He has since become a key player for Spurs and been called into Thomas Tuchel’s England side.
