[edit] Career

[edit] Tottenham Hotspur

Forecast joined the Tottenham Hotspur Academy system, His first major impact came in 2004–05 with a string of fine displays as their Under-18s Goalkeeper and helped his team reach the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup which included saves in a penalty shoot-out at Anfield.

After his stand out successes in the FA Youth Cup he was named in the first team squad as substitute six times during the 2007–08 Premier League. Yet at Tottenham he was limited to these six first team appearances and quickly decided on a move away from White Hart Lane.

[edit] Southampton

In July 2008, Forecast made his first transfer away from Tottenham, He was signed up by Jan Poortvliet the manager of Southampton for £100,000 on a five year contract. He said "Spurs did not really want to let me go but as soon as I found out about Saints' interest my mind was made up."

At Southampton, Forecast became very much a third choice keeper behind Saints no.1 Kelvin Davis and second choice Bartosz Białkowski, and therefore has appeared more at reserve team level; however after Białkowski's loan to Ipswich Town at the end of the 2008–09 season he became second choice keeper.

On 13 August 2009 Forecast joined Grimsby Town on a one-month loan following an injury to Town's first-choice goalkeeper Nick Colgan. Forecast made his full professional debut the following day for Grimsby, in their home match with Crewe Alexandra. Grimsby sent Forecast back early from his loan spell on 3 September after failing to impress. The club also choosing not to extend his stay with the club, instead manager Mike Newell opted to bring in Josh Lillis from Scunthorpe United to fill the sticks until Colgan's return.
