Career

Forbes began his career at Norwich City in 1995. He played under several different managers in his six years at Carrow Road, including Martin O'Neill, Mike Walker and Bruce Rioch.

In the summer of 2001 he moved to Luton in a £60,000 deal. After three seasons at Kenilworth Road, Forbes signed for Swansea City, who were then in Football League Two, on a free transfer in 2004. In his first season at the club he was ever-present and scored seven goals. On 30 April 2005, Forbes scored Swansea's last-ever league goal at their Vetch Field stadium in a 1-0 win over Shrewsbury Town, before their move to the Liberty stadium. The following match he scored again against Bury to earn the club automatic promotion to Football League One.cite news
