Forsyth Joins Stourbridge

 

George Forsyth has joined Stourbridge. He left Hereford earlier this week.

This from Stourbridge

Welcome back George!

The 25-year-old, who mainly plays in a defensive centre midfield role but can also feature in the back four, is the son of our former player and Head of youth & academy, Richard Forsyth.

He started out with Wolverhampton Wanderers and then Shrewsbury Town as a schoolboy before joining the Kidderminster Harriers youth and academy set-up.

After a couple of successful seasons he signed contract terms with Kidderminster Harriers. He subsequently spent time out on loan at a variety of clubs to gain more experience, such as Halesowen Town, Yate Town, Rushall Olympic, Hednesford Town and Stratford Town.

In the summer of 2017 George signed for Gloucester City, but towards the end of August he was loaned out to Worcester City and then looking for regular first team football, he joined Worcester on a more permanent basis in October 2017. He became a key player for City and one of the first names on the team-sheet.

George signed for Stourbridge in February 2019 and made nine appearances (7 + 2 sub) for us during the remainder of that season, which saw us beaten by Alvechurch in the play-off semi-finals.

In May 2019 he opted to move to Halesowen Town where he featured regularly before suffering a broken foot that kept him side-lined for a while. He returned to action with the Yeltz for their short-lived 2020/21 season before agreeing a move to Hereford FC in December 2020.

He has been unlucky with injuries at Hereford this season, but is now back fit and looking to nail down a regular first team place.
