Chris Forrester (born 17 December 1992 in Smithfield, Dublin) is an Irish footballer currently playing for Peterborough United in League 1. In 2016, he came to prominence in Britain during a televised FA Cup game, earning praise from Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer. He was subject to an array of bids from Wolves, QPR, and Derby on the opening day of the January 2017 transfer window.
Forrester started his schoolboy career with his local team, Smithfield, where he stayed for three seasons. He played for Bohemians for three seasons before he moved on to Belvedere and was a member of the successful Belvedere side who won the FAI Under–17 Cup in 2010 by beating Carragaline United. After moving to the senior ranks, he rejoined Bohemians where he was a regular in their under 20s and A Championship team that reached the 2010 A Championship Cup final and the Dr. Tony O'Neill Cup final. Unfortunately for Forrester and Bohs, they would be defeated in both.
With the financial uncertainty at Bohemians during the off season, Forrester found himself in the first team squad alongside some of ex Belvedere team mates such as Craig Sexton and Keith Buckley. He made his first team debut for the Gypsies on 7 March against Portadown F.C. at Shamrock Park. Having been on the bench for the opening league games, Christopher made his league debut for the Gypsies against UCD on 8 April in a 2–0 win at Belfield. and scored his first goal for the club against Bray Wanderers on 2 May, netting the equaliser in a 1–1 draw.
