Ryan Yates has arguably been Nottingham Forest's player of the season after making the step up to the Premier League in impressive fashion.
The 24-year-old's ability has consistently been questioned since he broke into the the first team in 2019 after loan spells at Barrow, Shrewsbury Town, Notts County and Scunthorpe, meaning he has now played at every level from the National League to the top flight.
Having consistently defied the doubters, Yates is now vice-captain and an increasingly important part of Steve Cooper's midfield as the Reds head into the World Cup.
