The latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as the Reds goalkeeper recalls an early knock back
Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner has claimed his ambition to represent Lithuania ended before it begun – with the national association failing to even respond to his plea.
At the same time the now Reds 'keeper had one eye on the international scene and while he was born in New Jersey, he was aware of a short-cut to the top level – and potentially a platform to a career-defining transfer to Europe.READ: Nottingham Forest star sent 'strong' message as opposition manager picks key Reds quality
“I actually contacted the Lithuanian FA. I was like, ‘I want international games.’ They were going through a Euro qualifying cycle. This was after my first year really playing for the Revs, so this was 2018. “They were about to do Euro qualifiers and I think they were going to play England and Portugal in the window. I’m like, ‘This is my opportunity. If I could get in there, then I’m going to play against England and Portugal and all I need is a crack in the door and I’ll ball and then I’ll get my move’. But they never texted me back or emailed me back.”
