Cash signed with Nottingham Forest in October 2014, after spending 16-months with the Football Academy at Bisham Abbey. He experienced his first games in professional football on loan at League Two Dagenham & Redbridge, having joined them on the 4 March 2016 on a one-month loan deal. He scored his first goal for the Daggers in a 3-1 defeat to Hartlepool United on 12 March.
On 5 August, Cash signed a three year deal with Forest to keep him at the club until 2019. He made his first team debut a day later, starting in a 4-3 win over Burton Albion. Cash's early season form earned him praise, with former Forest defender Kenny Burns claiming that the midfielder's performances were putting those of some of the more experienced Forest players "to shame". However, on only his fifth appearance for Forest, Cash sustained a fracture to his tibia at the beginning of a 2-2 draw away to Aston Villa on the 11 September which was expected to keep him out for three months.
Cash made his return from injury on 25 November as a 79th minute substitute in a 5-2 defeat of Barnsley at Oakwell. Three days later Cash was linked with a £5,000,000 transfer to Premier League giants Chelsea, although Forest owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi subsequently took to social media to deny that the midfielder would be sold in the January transfer window. On 4 January 2017, Cash was the subject of a £6,000,000 bid from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig. Having remained at Forest upon the closure of the January transfer window, Cash signed a new contract on 3 March to extend his current deal with the club until 2021.
