Playing Career
Club(s) Played junior football in and around the Newcastle upon Tyne area, with Newcastle City schools and the Wallsend Boys Club, Stocksfield FC and Newburn FC. Signed as a trainee with Newcastle United FC on 4 July 2007. He joined Stockport County FC on loan on 3 October 2008. He was sent out on loan again, to Bristol Rovers FC on 31 July 2009. Upon his return to Newcastle, he was loaned out again to Norwich City FC, on 28 August 2009, for an initial one-month loan stint, but lasted the entire season. He was sent out on a season-long loan on 24 August 2010, to The Celtic FC, he rejoined Celtic on another season-long loan on 17 August 2011.  And finally, without ever making a Newcastle competitive appearance, he signed a permanent deal with Celtic on 5 July 2012. Forster had kept 79 clean sheets in his 140 SPL appearances, up until he joined Southampton FC on 9 August 2014 for a £10 million transfer fee. A knee injury in March 2015 meant he missed almost a year of football. On 22 August 2019, he rejoined The Celtic FC on a season-long loan deal. He was back on Southampton FC's bench for the 2020-21 season, before making the first team again the following season. Signed with Tottenham Hotspur FC on 8 June 2022.
