Alan Forrest, hailing from Scotland and born on 9 September 1996, now aged 29, is a seasoned forward whose primary position is a left winger. As of now, he is playing for Hearts and adorns the number 17 jersey. The lad stands 5ft 9in tall (1.76m) and weighs 11st 9lb (74kg), his athletic build suiting his dynamic role on the field.
Forrest's worth on the field is reflected through his current market value that hovers around €350k, equivalent of £300k, as stated by Transfermarkt.
In July 2013, Forrest moved to Ayr United in the Championship in Scotland. He proved to be a reliable asset in the debut season of 2013 - 2014 with 27 first team appearances under his belt and eight goals in league matches to his name. In following seasons at Ayr, he consistently hit the back of the net and made himself essential to the team.
His stint at Ayr ended in July 2020 when he was signed by Livingston in the Premiership division in Scotland. In his two seasonal outings at Livingston, he made a total of 66 appearances and scored ten goals in league matches. His performance strengthened the team's dynamics and led to further opportunities for his career.
Things took an interesting turn in July 2022, when Forrest transferred to Hearts in the Premiership division in Scotland. He appeared in a total of 134 league matches, astonishingly, and found the back of the net twelve times. In the current season of 2025 - 2026, Forrest has already made ten first team appearances in league matches.
His inclusion in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Hearts is worth noting - he kickstarted three times and came on as a substitute once. This showcases his adaptability and effectiveness in different game scenarios, further emphasising his contribution to the team's successes.
