Career

Born in Keighley, Forrest began his career at Bradford City, where he was described as a "promising striker." He joined the club at the age of 9 during the same week as Kevin Sanasy. He made 50 appearances in the Football League for Bradford City. He signed on loan for Halifax Town in August 2005, before signing permanently later that year. At Halifax Town he spent a loan spell at Hucknall Town in 2008 to regain fitness following an injury. He signed for Crawley Town in May 2008, signing a new contract with the club in May 2009. He was offered another contract by the club in April 2010, but he moved to Barrow in June 2010. While at Barrow he spent a loan spell at Guiseley in January 2011. He was released by Barrow in May 2011, joining Guiseley on a permanent deal. He left Guiseley in September 2012, and played for Harrogate Town before moving to Bradford Park Avenue in July 2013. After a short spell back with Guiseley, his third with the club, he signed for Gainsborough Trinity in November 2014, leaving the club in November 2015, retiring from football.

He returned to football in March 2016 with Silsden, as a player-assistant manager, scoring on his debut. He became manager in November 2016, and led the club to promotion from the North West Counties League First Division in the 2017–18 season.
