on loan for the 2007–08 season. After a successful season with the club, Anderson was named Swansea Young Player of the Year scoring 10 goals in all competitions. Swansea manager Roberto Martínez expressed his desire to sign the winger on a permanent basis. Swansea faced competition for the player from Nottingham Forest who were also understood to be interested in the player. Nottingham Forest On 26 June 2008, it was announced that Anderson was to join Forest on a season-long loan. After suffering with injury, Anderson eventually made his Forest debut against Queens Park Rangers on 18 October 2008. He scored his first goal for the club in November, in the 2–1 home defeat against Norwich City. His second goal came in a 2–0 home win against Plymouth Argyle. On 23 January 2009, in an FA Cup fourth round qualifier, between Derby County and Nottingham Forest, Anderson suffered a serious injury in the second half of the game.
