"[Hugh] found out I had Scottish grandparents. He set the groundwork for me and went to find out if anyone would be keen to take me on. The three-month trial came up with Glasgow and things went better than I thought. It was always on my mind to play in Scotland during my career, I just never thought the opportunity would come this early."[3] He joined Glasgow Warriors in February 2021.[4] He is Scottish qualified.
He started for the Warriors in their match against Leinster on 28 February 2021, becoming Glasgow Warrior No. 323.[5] His brother, Quaid Forbes, is the Sir Douglas Myers scholar for Cambridge University at the esteemed Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University (graduate year 2023).
