# Hammers defender Byram joins Forest on loan

West Ham defender Sam Byram has joined Championship outfit Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan, as reported by the [club’s official website](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2018/august/10-august/sam-byram-joins-nottingham-forest-loan).

The 24-year old right-back will link up with former Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka as the Spaniard aims to push for promotion back to the Premier League this season.

Byram joined the Hammers from Leeds United in January 2016, making 36 appearances for the club in all competitions.

The full-back only made 10 appearances last season, and will hope to get back to regular football at the City Ground this season.
