Tommy Forecast; born 15 October 1986 in Newham, England), is a English football goalkeeper, currently with English club Grimsby Town, where he is on loan from Southampton.
Career
Tottenham Hotspur
Tommy joined the Tottenham Hotspur Academy system, His first major impact came in 2004–05 with a string of fine displays as their Under-18s Goalkeeper and helped his team reach the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup which included saves in a penalty shoot-out at Anfield.
After his stand out successes in the FA Youth Cup he was named in the first team squad as substitute 6 times during the 2007–08 Premier League. Yet at Tottenham he was limited to these 6 first team appearances and quickly decided on a move away from White Hart Lane
Southampton
In July 2008, Forecast made his first transfer away from Tottenham, He was signed up by Jan Poortvliet the manager of Southampton for £100,000 on a five year contract. He said "Spurs did not really want to let me go but as soon as I found out about Saints' interest my mind was made up."
At Southampton, Forecast became very much a third choice keeper behind Saints no.1 Kelvin Davis and second choice Bartosz Białkowski, and therefore has appeared more at reserve team level; however after Białkowski's loan to Ipswich Town at the end of the 2008–09 season he became second choice keeper.
On 13 August 2009 Forecast joined Grimsby Town on a one-month loan following an injury to Town's first-choice goalkeeper Nick Colgan.
