season on 26 March 2009. He made his debut two days later, scoring a goal in the process, only for it to ruled out by the linesman who adjudged him to be offside. He finished the loan with six appearances, scoring an impressive 5 goals. His contract was mutually terminated by Forest after the clubs reserve team was disbanded by the new management team, leaving many of the clubs talented young players without a club.

on non-contract terms, following a brief spell in Scotland. After it was revealed the club was under financial difficulties, Newbold left Tamworth and signed for Hucknall Town F.C.

Silobreaker carried a story later in the week where they described Ballarat as having 'struck gold' with the capture of Newbold. It is thought that news of Newbold's arrival down under has sparked interest from a number of A-league sides.
