In the 3-1 final win over Chesterfield FC , he scored the final score in the 78th minute with a penalty.

Nottingham Forest

On August 6, 2014 Assombalonga moved to the second division Nottingham Forest for a transfer fee of around 5.5 million pounds . In the Football League Championship 2014/15 he was able to meet the high expectations placed on him and scored fifteen goals before seriously injuring his knee on February 11, 2015 in a 3-0 home win over Wigan Athletic .
