Alan Forrest, hailing from Scotland and born on the 9th of September 1996, has made a name for himself as a forward, predominantly in the position of left winger. Currently sporting the number 17 jersey for Hearts, this stout 5ft 9in (1.76m) figure maintains a steady weight of around 11st 9lb (74kg).
As it's reported by Transfermarkt, Forrest's current market value is proximate to a round figure of £630,000. His stay with Hearts is under contract until 31st of May 2026, giving him an additional 1 year and 9 months with the club.
Forrest kicked off his exceptional career during the 2013-2014 season at Ayr United, where he appeared 27 times and netted eight goals. The following 2014-2015 season at Ayr, he built on his debut year with 31 appearances and nine goals. Ever consistent, Forrest continued with Ayr United for the 2015-2016 season and the 2016-2017 season, clocking up 34 appearances in both. He managed five and six goals respectively across those seasons.
A slight dip in his 2017 to 2018 season saw him make 16 appearances with Ayr United, though he still managed to find the back of the net four times. His time at Ayr gave him a solid foundation to move on to bigger challenges.
Fast forward to the 2020-2021 season, Forrest made the transition to Livingston, where he made a solid 30 first team appearances and scored four goals. The following season, he again featured prominently, with 36 appearances and six goals to his name.
From Livingston, Forrest moved to Hearts in the 2022-2023 season. Since then, he has made an impressive 35 appearances in his debut season, scoring four times. The next season saw similar statistics, with Forrest making 33 appearances and another four goals added to his tally. In the current 2024-2025 season, he's already chalked up four appearances.
Forrest has also extended his proving grounds to cup matches and continental competitions. He played in the League Cup 2024-2025 for Hearts with one substitute appearance, the Scottish Cup 2023-2024 for Hearts with four starts, and in the Europa League Qualifiers 2024-2025 season for Hearts with one substitute appearance.
