[edit] Club career
Forbes was born in Southwark, London in 1981 and began his career as a youth player at West Ham, featuring in their 1999 FA Youth Cup win.[2] However, he was unable to break into West Ham's first team, and after a loan spell with Bournemouth in 1999 where he made four league and cup appearances, he joined Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer in July 2001.[3] He quickly established himself in the first team, making 45 league and cup appearances in the 2001–02 season, 43 appearances in the 2002–03 season and 38 appearances in the 2003–04 season,[3] helping QPR to the Division Two play-off final in May 2003, which they lost 1–0 to Cardiff City after extra time, and to automatic promotion in May 2004 as runners-up in promotion from Division Two .[4][5] However, he was out of contract at the end of the 2003–04 season and was released by the club.[6]
Forbes joined Grimsby Town on a short-term contract in September 2004, which was later extended to the end of the season.[7] He made 34 league and cup appearances in the 2004–05 season for Grimsby but opted to leave Grimsby to play in a division higher with Oldham Athletic, signing a two-year contract with Oldham in May 2005.[3][8][9] He made 44 league and cup appearances for Oldham in the 2005–06 season before joining Yeovil Town in June 2006, on a two-year contract[3][10] He made 52 appearances for Yeovil in the 2006–07 season, as Yeovil reached the League One play-off final in May 2007, losing 2–0 to Blackpool.[3][11] Forbes scored the first goal of his career in a 2-1 away win against Bristol Rovers on 24 October 2009.[12]
He signed for Russell Slade for a third time on 26 May 2010 when he joined Leyton Orient, rejecting an offer of a new contract at Yeovil.[13]
