'I still don't think' - Nottingham Forest urged to act over Sammy Ameobi

Sammy Ameobi deserves a new contract at Nottingham Forest, says former Reds caretaker boss Ian McParland.

The 27-year-old winger has played in every Championship match for Forest so far this season, after moving to the City Ground on a one-year deal last summer, helping them to fifth place in the table.

And while McParland believes Ameobi has still not fulfilled his potential, he thinks he should "definitely" be rewarded for his performances with a contract extension.

"We talk about characters and personalities and you can see right away he's great," McParland told Notts TV.

"It's good for people to come into the club with a big smile on their face and with a bit of character.

"I've watched him all through the years and I still don't think he's fulfilled his potential.

"I think he's got a lot of ability.

"He needs to add more goals to his game and more assists."
