Forgotten Premier League star wakes up unemployed after costing side £7MILLION since last game 40 MONTHS ago
HARRY ARTER has been released by Nottingham Forest, having last played for the club 40 MONTHS ago.
The forgotten Premier League star has not left empty-handed while banking a cool £7MILLION since his last game.
Arter, 34, joined Nottingham Forest in 2020, having signed on a three-year deal from Bournemouth.
He played 13 times in the Championship for the club but fell out of favour under Chris Hughton in 2021.
Arter was believed to be free to leave the club but stayed, and his deal was automatically extended to 2024.
The extension was triggered by the club gaining promotion to the Premier League in 2022.
Reports claim that his deal was worth an eye-watering £40,000-per-week.
His last game for the club came in the third round FA Cup win over Cardiff in January 2021, 40 months ago.
Arter has not spent the entire time at the City Ground since that appearance.
The midfielder had loan spells at Charlton Athletic and Notts County.

He stayed at the club until March and joined then-National League outfit Notts County.
Arter is not the only player to be leaving Forest this summer.
Felipe, Cheikhou Kouyate and Wayne Hennessey will also depart the City Ground after helping the club survive in the Premier League.

Premier League cult hero Dwight Gayle is also without a club after leaving Derby County.
