Harry Forrester (born 2 January 1991) is an English footballer. He plays as a Attacking midfielder for Aston Villa. He has also been capped at youth level for England.
Career
Aston Villa
In January 2008, Aston Villa signed Forrester from Watford, despite fighting off reported interest from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United for the highly rated teen. He was only 16 years old at the time, yet Villa paid out £250,000 (that could potentially rise to £1 million) for him. After joining, he immediately helped Villa's under-18 team to FA Premier Academy League glory in the 2007-08 season. He has also started for Villa's reserve team who in the 2009-10 season, won the Reserve League South title for a third consecutive time. However, he was an unused sub as Villa went on to lose the Play-off Final against Manchester United, champions of the Reserve League North. He attended Sponne School, Towcester.
Kilmarnock (Loan)
In August 2010, Forrester signed on loan with Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock.[1] He made his Scottish Premier League début in a 2-1 win against St. Mirren on September 11.[2] Forrester claimed his first assist in a 2-1 loss to Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 23 October, crossing to Rui Miguel who scored with a header.[3] He played a total of 8 games in all competitions for Kilmarnock, before returning to Aston Villa in January 2011.
