D.C. United loaned homegrown forward Kristian Fletcher to Nottingham Forest FC of the English Premier League, the MLS club announced Friday.
Fletcher, 19, is set to join Nottingham’s U-21 team. The loan period runs through June 2025.
“This is another important milestone in Kristian’s development and maturation as a Homegrown player,” D.C. United general manager and chief soccer officer Ally Mackay said in a release. “Going abroad and getting experience at a Premier League side is a testament to the work that Kristian has done to earn this opportunity.”
Fletcher has recorded two goals and two assists in 25 MLS matches (three starts) since making his D.C. debut in 2022.
This is the Maryland native’s second move abroad, having played with EFL Championship side Swansea City on loan in 2023.
