Rugby Union career[]
Professional career[]
Forbes was played for Bay of Plenty in the Mitre 10 Cup from 2018 to 2020.[2] He credits ex-Glasgow Warrior Hugh Blake, who was a teammate at Bay of Plenty, for the opportunity to move to Glasgow. "[Hugh] found out I had Scottish grandparents. He set the groundwork for me and went to find out if anyone would be keen to take me on. The three-month trial came up with Glasgow and things went better than I thought. It was always on my mind to play in Scotland during my career, I just never thought the opportunity would come this early."[3] He joined Glasgow Warriors in February 2021.[4] He is Scottish qualified.
He started for the Warriors in their match against Leinster on 28 February 2021, becoming Glasgow Warrior No. 323.[5]
International career[]
In June 2021 Forbes was called up to the Scotland squad for the Summer internationals.[6]
