James Forrest, born 7th July 1991 in Scotland, continues to ply his trade for the Hoops as a seasoned forward on the right wing. Now aged 33, Forrest stands at 1.75m tall and tips the scales at 67kg. In true Celtic tradition, he proudly dawns the number 49 jersey and has represented his country at the international level.
Currently, Forrest's market value is estimated to be around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt. His contract with Celtic is set to expire next summer on 31st May 2025.
This season, Forrest has featured in two Premiership matches for Celtic, appearing in the starting line-up on both occasions. His contributions weren't just limited to the domestic front as he also took part in the 2023 - 2024 Champions League campaign with Celtic and scored a goal in one of his appearances for the Green and White in both the League Cup and Scottish Cup of the same season.
During his debut season with Celtic in 2009 - 2010, Forrest found the net once in just two appearances for the first team. He managed to extend this impressive form into the following seasons, bagging three goals in 18 appearances in 2010 - 2011 and seven in 29 the following year. The two subsequent seasons saw him net three and four goals respectively across 15 and 16 appearances.
Over the next seasons that followed, Forrest has continued to prove his worth to Celtic; contributing three goals in the 2014 - 2015 season, two in the following, six in 2016 - 2017, and eight in 2017 - 2018. The 2018 - 2019 season boasted his best return to date, with 11 goals across 33 appearances, followed by ten in the subsequent year. Most recently, he has scored three, one, four, and six goals respectively across the four latest seasons leading up to 2024 - 2025, where he has made just two appearances to date.
