Emile Sinclair (born December 29, 1987) is an English footballer, currently with Nottingham Forest. He signed for Forest's academy in the summer of 2006 after being released by Bradford City. The striker was given chances, along with other young players, in Forest's 2007 pre-season.

Sinclair made his professional debut away at Chester City in the first round of the Carling Cup. He came on as a substitute in extra time and went on to score the winning penalty in the penalty shootout.

He made his League debut with a brief appearance at Swansea City. He scored his first professional goal after netting the last of Forest's 4-0 victory against Gillingham, just two minutes after coming on as a substitute for hat-trick man Junior Agogo. Following this run of form, the 19-year-old was rewarded with a new two-year deal at the City Ground club on the October 2, 2007.

On November 22, 2007, Sinclair joined Brentford in a one-month loan deal. His debut was in a 7-0 loss against to Peterborough United. He was dropped onto the bench and made his other three appearances as a substitute. His loan spell ended on January 2, 2008.[citation needed] He netted two goals in the reserves upon his return and returned to the first team days later as he came off the bench in Forest's 4-0 victory over Leyton Orient. He helped The Reds finish second in the 2007-08 season in League One, gaining promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship.

With The Reds gaining promotion, manager Colin Calderwood has commented that he will be given the chance to impress next season after Forest's promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship in the upcoming 2008-09 campaign. [1]
