Worrall has also represented England at youth level, and captained the England squad that won the [[2017 Toulon Tournament]]. He also went on holiday towards the end of July 2020, shortly after Forest lost to Stoke which meant missing out on the playoffs. Some members of Forest's fanbase took a disliking to this and well and truly got the hump. Grow up. ==Club career== ===Nottingham Forest=== Worrall signed with [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] in October 2011, rejecting interest from other local sides [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] and [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/sport/local-sport/proud-joe-signs-deal-with-forest-1-3837532|title=Proud Joe signs deal with Forest|publisher=|accessdate=9 January 2016}}</ref> Worrall joined [[League Two]] club [[Dagenham & Redbridge F.C.|Dagenham & Redbridge]] on 8 January 2016 on a one-month loan deal.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35261621|title=BBC Sport – Dagenham sign Nottingham Forest's Joe Worrall on loan|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=9 January 2016}}</ref> He made his professional debut the next day in a third-round [[FA Cup]] tie against [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], which Dagenham & Redbridge lost 2–0,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35211391|title=BBC Sport – Everton 2–0 Dagenham & Redbridge|author=Caroline Chapman|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=9 January 2016}}</ref> and scored his first professional goal on 23 January in a 2–2 draw away at Newport County.
