Joseph Gardner
21-Year-Old
Free Agent
Joins Falkirk on permanent deal
Gardner has left Nottingham Forest to join Falkirk on a permanent transfer, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Gardner spent three seasons in the Nottingham Forest setup but managed just one senior appearance for the club, coming on as a substitute in an FA Cup fourth-round win over Bristol City. The forward went out on loan for the past two seasons, first at Lincoln City in 2024-25 and then at Mansfield Town in 2025-26, where injuries limited him to 17 appearances and a single goal. He never featured in the Premier League during his time at Forest and has now joined Scottish Championship side Falkirk on a permanent three-year deal, looking for consistent senior football.
