Born in Scotland on 7 July 1991, the footballer James Forrest has carved out a significant career for himself in his home nation, primarily serving as a right winger for Celtic. Standing at 5ft 8in (1.75m) and weighing in at 10st 7lb (67kg), he is a formidable presence on the pitch, donning the number 49 jersey for his club.
His pave in the world of football is evident from his market value, which hovers around £340k, as per data from Transfermarkt.
Forrest began his first team journey with Celtic in the 2009 - 2010 season. Though he made just two appearances that year, he scored one goal. In the following season, he made 18 appearances and netted three goals. 2011 - 2012 saw an upswing in his performance, as he took to the pitch 29 times and scored seven goals. The next season he made fewer appearances, 15, but still managed three goals.
In the seasons leading up to 2013, Forrest's performance remained solid. He scored four goals in 16 appearances in 2013 - 2014, three goals in 19 appearances in 2014 - 2015, and two goals in 19 appearances in 2015 - 2016. The subsequent seasons were marked by steady performances, with Forrest appearing between 28 and 35 times and scoring six to eight goals each season until the end of the 2018 - 2019 season.
In the 2019 - 2020 season, Forrest stood out with 28 appearances and ten goals. His performance, however, dipped a bit in the following season, during which he managed three goals in 13 appearances. Up until the current season (2025 - 2026), his appearance count has fluctuated between 16 and 23 per season, and his goal count has varied between one and six.
Forrest also had the advantage of participating in a number of top-tier cups and leagues. During the 2025 - 2026 season, Forrest started once and appeared twice as a substitute in the League Cup, started once and made a single substitute appearance in the Scottish Cup, started twice in the Champions League Qualifiers, and started once and substituted thrice in the Europa League.
