Police hunt after 30 Nottingham Forest Women's kits stolen from boot of coach's car

The kits have players' names on the back and police have appealed to the public for help

A police hunt is underway after thieves stole 30 Nottingham Forest kits from the boot of the car belonging to the coach of the women's team. Senior detectives say the culprits raided coach Carly Davies' car while it was parked outside her home address in Clifton.

The distinctive kits - which include training gear - are unique owing to the sponsor on the front of the shirts. Nottinghamshire Police says it wants the public to be on the lookout for the kits following the incident on September 12.

A force spokesperson said: "The shirts are distinctive due to the sponsor being unique to the Women's Team.

"The kits will have the players' names on the back along with player number and not many of these shirts have been sold but are available to fans." Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 098 of September 12.

Carly Davies was appointed as the head coach for the Nottingham Forest Women first team in August 2023. Davies came to the club with more than 20 years of experience at Aston Villa both playing and coaching.

The team are currently top of the National League Northern Premier Division table after seven games, having won five and drawn two. Although the male kits are now sponsored by the Asian digital sports platform Kaiyun Sports, the women's team kits continue to be sponsored by energy company E.on Next.
