Al-Kholood officially sign former Manchester United winger

Al-Kholood’s current campaign has been scrappy and tight, with the club hovering in the lower half and chasing the kind of run that turns nervous weekends into breathing space.

The margins have felt thin, with goals often coming in short bursts rather than steady flow, and the pressure rising every time the bottom pack picks up points.

That tension is sharper because last season set a higher bar. Al-Kholood finished ninth in their debut Saudi Pro League campaign, a statement season that quickly reframed expectations from “survive” to “build”.

This year’s drop has made recruitment a live topic, with reinforcements understood to be targeted at energy, pace, and depth.

Now there is a new name to track. Adam Berry has been confirmed as an Al-Kholood signing from Nottingham Forest, with the Saudi Pro League club making the announcement on X.

The move brings a new horizon for the youngster as the former Manchester United winger steps into a fresh chapter abroad.

Berry is a product of United’s academy pathway, joining the scholar intake and operating mainly as a wide forward.

He was used across the frontline in youth football, with his best work understood to come from the wing, driving into space and joining attacks early.

There were no senior competitive appearances, and his route was always set for the harder lane: making his case in a crowded group.

After leaving United, Berry’s next step took him to Nottingham Forest’s youth set-up, where he looked to rebuild rhythm and minutes.

The trajectory since has been about acceleration, with this switch to Saudi football representing the quickest route to senior adaptation and a defined role.

For Al-Kholood, it is a low-noise, high-upside swing, with Adam Berry set to be judged as he attempts to break into his first senior squad.
