Lawrence Gorman

​

Lawrence was born and raised in Nottingham, starting his career at an early age playing for Notts county. He signed for them at the age of 9 and was offered a scholarship when he was just 12. Unfortunately the centre of excellence shut down and all ties were cut loose. Lawrence then moved over the Trent to Nottingham Forest where he developed from 12-19. In his scholarship he played a number of first team friendlies against teams like Mansfield town, Derby County.

​

Lawrence was named the linchpin of the Nottingham Forest youth team when they made their fantastic run through the FA youth cup reaching the semi finals, unfortunately getting knocked out by Norwich City. Whilst at Forest Lawrence also represented England at u16, u17 and u18s where he received 9 caps/appearances.

​

After a year of being a professional footballer, circumstances have changed and Lawrence is now playing Semi Professional football but with an aim to get back into the Professional game in the not too distant future. Lawrence is coaching at Canoville Coaching alongside playing football at present for Carlton Town FC.

It has been a great learning curve and the best feeling is seeing children enjoying their football and learning at the same time.”
