The 19-year-old was a free agent after Forest canceled his contract before the transfer deadline.
"I'm here to play men's football, I want to do as much as I can in football and this is my next step - hopefully the gaffer will give me that chance," he told the U's website.
"I can play lots of different positions, I love getting on the ball and hopefully I can help the team to win games."
