The Reds academy ace has a bright season under Sabri Lamouchi at the City Ground.
A number of Nottingham Forest fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the news that highly rated youngster Jayden Richardson has joined Exeter City on a season-long loan.
The 18-year-old, a right-back by trade but who can also play further up the flank, has linked up with the League Two outfit, who last season finished just one point adrift of the playoffs.
Richardson, who has played Under-23s football for Forest since signing his first professional deal in April, is set to provide competition and cover for Pierce Sweeney, Exeter’s only other recognised right-back (BBC Sport).
As per Forest’s website, the full-back was part of the Reds first-team squad in pre-season training and was named as a substitute for the opening game against West Bromwich Albion and the Carabao Cup victory over Fleetwood Town.
Following Richardson’s temporary switch down south, some Trickies fans praised the move on social media and told Grecians fans they’ve got a great player on their hands for 2019-20, while a few bemoaned his exit as they wanted to see him given a first-team chance by Sabri Lamouchi:
Exeter are currently third in the League Two table after back-to-back wins from their opening two league games against Macclesfield Town and Stevenage, and host Swindon Town at St James’ Park on Saturday.
