After initially performing 'very well as a sub early in the season', Forbes struggled for playing time towards the end of the 2003/04 season with manager Martin Ling pointing towards his lack of versatility as an issue, and as a result his contract was mutually terminated before the end of the campaign, at the time he was expected to join Aldershot Town F.C on trial.

Forbes left Cheshunt F.C. in the summer of 2010, joining Boreham Wood F.C. on trial soon after. [5]
