New Nottingham Forest Women head coach Tom Mallinson says he tries to instill a "Ryan Yates culture" throughout his coaching career because of the time he spent developing the now Forest captain in the club's academy. Yates joined Forest as an eight-year-old and went out on loan four times before eventually breaking into the first team and becoming an integral part of the side that gained promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years. "It means everything to the academy and the people of Nottingham to see one of your own playing and captaining Forest," Mallinson told the Shut Up and Show More Football podcast.
