Alan Forrest, born on 9 September 1996 (age 29), is a Scottish left-sided winger currently with Hearts, where he wears No 17. His current market value is around £213,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Forrest’s most productive league season came with Ayr United in 2014–15, when he scored nine goals in 31 appearances. That remains the clearest attacking return of his senior career, and it gives a fair sense of the player: useful wide movement, capable of chipping in, but not a winger whose career has been built on heavy scoring numbers.
At Hearts in 2025–26, he has made 13 league appearances without scoring, as well as four League Cup appearances. Across all competitions for Hearts this season, he has played 17 times and has yet to find the net.
Forrest’s career has taken him from Ayr United to a settled role in the Scottish top flight with Hearts. He is an established squad player rather than a headline act, with his value lying in his experience and use across the wide areas.
