​The latest update from The Tricky Trees, delivered through an official club press release this evening, confirms that WSL Full-Time midfielder Murphy will remain with Nottingham Forest for another season. The 20-year-old initially joined Forest from German club SC Sand in February, signing terms that were set to run until next summer. She has chosen to extend her stay at The City Ground for an additional year, continuing her development with the Reds.
During the tail end of the 2025/2026 Barclays WSL2 campaign, Murphy made eight starts for Nottingham Forest, showcasing her form and consistency over the final three months. Her contribution included a goal in Forest’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle United at Gateshead International Stadium in April, a moment that highlighted her potential to influence matches and contribute on the scoresheet. Her performances have underscored the belief within the club that she can achieve even more in the seasons ahead.
Speaking after signing again with Trentside, Murphy expressed her happiness and commitment to the club. “I am super-happy to have signed this new deal with the club. I settled into the group really well last season, and I’m grateful to everyone for making me feel so welcome,” she said. “It’s exciting to experience a new part of the world at a new club, and we have big ambitions as a team. I’m looking forward to playing my part in helping us achieve them.”
The extension reflects Nottingham Forest’s ongoing plan to build a strong, cohesive squad capable of delivering success in the coming years. The club continues to focus on nurturing young talent and integrating academy products with seasoned players to drive performance across WSL competitions. Murphy’s renewed contract is a testament to her potential and the confidence the club places in her ability to contribute to Forest’s ambitions.
Fans can expect further updates on the Forest squad as the club prepares for the next chapter in their WSL journey. Additional announcements regarding new signings, contract renewals, and squad movements will be released in due course, with the aim of keeping supporters informed and engaged as Nottingham Forest strives to climb the standings and compete at the highest level. As preparations intensify ahead of the new season, Murphy will be among the players to watch as Forest looks to maximize the talent within its ranks and build a resilient, forward-thinking team ready to face the challenges of top-flight women’s football.
