Forest Green Rovers have bolstered their squad with two key additions: forward Omari Patrick on a permanent transfer and promising midfielder Kyle Kelly on a season-long loan from Liverpool.
Kyle Kelly, 20, has been part of Liverpool’s youth system since 2018, most recently featuring for their under-21 side. The midfielder has also gained international experience, earning eight caps for St Kitts and Nevis and scoring once during a friendly against the Solomon Islands in March. The loan deal, initially set for six months, has been warmly welcomed by Forest Green’s manager Robbie Savage. “What a great guy,” Savage said. “We’re very excited to have Kyle join us at Forest Green Rovers. He’s a tough tackler, works hard across the pitch, and is a highly regarded young talent at Liverpool.”
Shortly after securing Kelly’s loan, Forest Green confirmed the permanent signing of Omari Patrick. The 29-year-old forward, previously with Tranmere Rovers, scored seven goals in 41 appearances last season. Patrick brings valuable experience from his time at clubs including Carlisle United—where he played a pivotal role in their promotion to League One in 2023—as well as Sutton United, Bradford City, and Kidderminster.
