Carlos Forbs

Carlos Forbs of Club Brugge was born in Sintra, Portugal on 19 March 2004 (age 22).

Carlos Forbs is a Portuguese right winger, born on 19 March 2004 (age 22), and now a regular first-team presence at Club Brugge. A compact winger at 5ft 7in (1.69m), he is used primarily from the right, where his output has become more noticeable as his senior career has settled.

His most productive league campaign so far came in 2025-2026, when he scored three goals in 27 appearances for Club Brugge. In 2026-2027 he has stayed involved, with 10 league appearances and three league goals, while his wider club total for the season stands at 28 appearances and 11 goals across all competitions.

That return includes two goals in four Champions League appearances and five in 10 Pro League play-off matches, which is a useful enough reminder that he is not just filling a squad place. His current market value is around £7m, according to Transfermarkt.

Forbs remains a developing player rather than a finished article, but his recent Club Brugge record gives him a clear role in the side. His career to this point is still being shaped at senior level, with regular football and improving end product the main notes.
