Matthew Charles "Matty" Fryatt (born 5 March 1986) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Nottingham Forest.
Fryatt holds the record for fastest goal ever scored by a Leicester City player when he scored after 9 seconds in a 2–1 defeat to Preston North End on 15 April 2006. Fryatt broke two further records during his time at Leicester in the 2008–09 season. His first was becoming the first player in 42 years to score 20 goals before Christmas, and another being the first in 83 years to hit hat-tricks in successive matches.
Born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, Fryatt rose through the ranks at youth level at Walsall. He made his first team debut as a substitute in a 3–1 League Cup second round defeat to Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium on 24 September 2003, replacing Steve Corica after 67 minutes. His first appearance in The Football League came on 14 October, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Watford in the First Division.
On 18 December 2003, Fryatt moved to Third Division Carlisle United on loan for a month to gain vital first team experience. He made his debut for the Cumbrians two days later, starting in a 2–0 win over Torquay United at Brunton Park, and scored his first professional goal on 3 January 2004, the winner as his team came from behind to win 2–1 against Boston United, heading in Brendan McGill's cross for the bottom-ranked club. Twelve days later, Fryatt's loan was extended by another month, and he returned to Walsall on 23 February after playing ten games. On 20 March, he scored his first goal for the Saddlers, in the first two minutes of a 2–1 win at Preston North End, but the season ended with relegation to League One.
