A move to Nottingham Forest subsequently followed in 2017, where he played 28 times, scoring five goals in England’s second tier.
He drops into League One looking for some much-needed game time. Speaking to the Fleetwood website about his new signing, Joey Barton said: “Barrie is a creative attacker who will provide a real spark in our squad.
“He’s a tricky player who has the ability to go past players, create chances and score goals, so he’s absolutely what we’ve been after.
“We look forward to him joining up with the squad and making an impact on the pitch.”

Speaking to the Fleetwood website about Throvaldsson, Barton said: “Isak is a player that we have been watching for a while, and when the chance came to bring him to our club, we jumped at it.
“He’s a tough-tackling midfielder, who will bring competition to our squad. He’s impressed in Norwich’s U23s despite only being 18, and we look forward to seeing him bring that form into our group.”
