Matthew Thornhill (born October 11, 1988) is an English footballer, currently with Nottingham Forest.
While he was in Forest's reserves, Thornhill came to the attention of first-team manager Colin Calderwood, who gave a chance to the young midfielder, along with other young players, during the 2007 pre-season.
Thornhill made his professional debut as a substitute at Chester City in the first round of the Carling Cup, which Forest won 4-2 on penalties after the game finished goalless after normal and extra time. He made his League debut five days later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Kris Commons. On January 12, 2008, the youngster came on as a late substitute against Leyton Orient to score his first professional goal for The Reds, the last of Forest's 4-0 victory.
Thornhill started his first Forest game when he stepped in at the last minute to replace Chris Cohen in the heart of midfield. He has since been battling for a midfield spot, scoring his second goal of the season in a 1-1 draw at Southend. He helped The Reds finish second in the 2007-08 season in League One, gaining promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship.
With The Reds gaining promotion, manager Colin Calderwood has commented that he will be given the chance to impress next season after Forest's promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship in the upcoming 2008-09 campaign. [1]
