Club career

Born in

League Cup on 14 August 2007.[3] He came on for Jordan Parkes in the 66th minute, and played in midfield.[3]

At the end of his scholarship the decision was made not to offer Forbes a professional contract, and he was released.[4]

Upon his release from Watford, Forbes joined Isthmian Premier League club Wealdstone.[5]

In December 2010 Forbes signed for

Conference National side Forest Green Rovers after he spent time training with the club. As part of the deal to bring Forbes to The New Lawn there was a nominal transfer fee involved as well as a sell on clause in the players contract.[6]

Forbes made his Forest Green debut coming off the bench in a 4–2 away win over Bath City on 28 December 2010. He then scored his first goal for Forest Green on 26 March 2011 in a 1–1 away draw against Cambridge United.[7] Forbes agreed a new contract with Forest Green to stay with the club for the 2011–12 season.[8] Following further impressive performances for Forest Green, in December 2011 Forbes agreed a contract extension keeping him at The New Lawn until the end of the 2012–13 season.[9] A few months later, in June 2012, Forbes signed another contract extension to keep him at Forest Green until the end of the 2014–15 season.[10]

In May 2013, he was awarded the

Non-League Paper's National Game Awards ceremony held at Fulham's Craven Cottage.[11] He made his hundredth league appearance for Forest Green on 24 September 2013 against Tamworth.[12]

In February 2014, Forbes joined Whitehawk on loan until the end of the 2013–14 season.[13] He returned to Forest Green at the end of the season. After featuring in two pre-season games at the start of the 2014–15 season, it was announced that he had joined Forest Green's league rivals Aldershot Town on a six-month loan deal.[14][15] He made his Aldershot Town debut on 9 August 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 home win over Altrincham.[16] He was a part of the Aldershot squad that caused an FA Cup upset, beating Portsmouth in a first round replay on 18 November 2014.[17]

On 2 February 2015, he returned to Forest Green when his loan at Aldershot had come to an end.

2014-15 season with Sutton, and on completion of his loan spell, it was confirmed that he had been released by Forest Green after five years with the club on 4 May 2015.[21]

Following his departure from Forest Green, Forbes signed for Maidenhead United in August 2015.[22]

In July 2017, Forbes signed for Farnborough.[23]

Forbes became manager Lee Allinson's first signing for Biggleswade Town on 8 May 2018.[24]
