Anton George Forrester (born 11 February 1994) is an English footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Port Vale.
A former Everton youth team player, he was signed to Blackburn Rovers in January 2013. He spent the 2013–14 season on loan at Bury, where he scored seven goals in 30 appearances. He suffered a serious knee injury in March 2014, which left him sidelined for nine months. He joined Morecambe on loan in November 2015, and signed with Port Vale in July 2016 after being released by Blackburn.
Forrester was born in Liverpool and attended the Everton Academy from the age of nine. He joined Blackburn Rovers after a trial spell in January 2013, and signed a two-year contract after impressing manager Michael Appleton and reserve team manager Gary Bowyer. He made his debut in the FA Cup on 13 March, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute for Joshua King in a 1–0 defeat to Millwall at Ewood Park.
In July 2013, Forrester joined Bury of League Two on loan until 1 January 2014. He made his debut for the "Shakers" in the opening game of the 2013–14 season, where he came on as a substitute for Ashley Grimes 60 minutes into a 2–0 defeat to Chesterfield at Gigg Lane. On 17 August, he scored his first goal in the Football League, in a 3–0 home win over Accrington Stanley. He then scored in the next game seven days later, in a 2–2 draw at Burton Albion. Three days later, he scored again in the second round of the League Cup, in a 6–3 defeat to Norwich City at Carrow Road. The following month he scored two goals in two games against Southend United and Dagenham & Redbridge. After scoring his sixth goal just 43 seconds into a 2–1 win over York City on 29 December, his loan deal was extended until the end of the season. The goal against York was later voted the club's 'Goal of the Season' at the end of season awards dinner. He added a seventh goal to his tally in a 1–0 win over Wycombe Wanderers on 1 February. However he suffered a knee injury against Fleetwood Town on 11 March, which brought his season to an end.
