After making a name for himself at Southampton, dead-ball expert James Ward-Prowse is currently playing for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
James Ward-Prowse is an England international who plays in midfield for Premier League side West Ham, and is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest.
Until August 2023, Ward-Prowse spent his entire career at Southampton, progressing through the youth ranks, debuting in 2011, to playing his 400th game in 2023.
Ward-Prowse made his England debut in 2017 and scored his first goal for the national side in a 5-0 win over San Marino in 2021.
Ward-Prowse has made a swift return to the top flight after joining West Ham for a reported fee of £30million on August 14, 2023. He created two assists for the Irons on his debut against Chelsea, and then scored his first goal for the club a week later against Brighton.
But he found himself out of favour with new West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui and joined Nottingham Forest on a loan deal until the end of the 2024/25 season.
