Harry Lee Forrester (born 2 January 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays for Scottish Premiership club Rangers.
Forrester came through the youth teams of Watford and Aston Villa and has been capped at youth level for England. He has also had spells at Kilmarnock, Brentford and Doncaster Rovers prior to joining Rangers. Although primarily an attacking midfielder, he can be deployed in a number of positions including on the left wing.
In 2000, Forrester joined Watford from Northampton Town. As Forrester was only ten years old, Watford paid Northampton £13,000 in compensation.
In summer 2007, Aston Villa signed Forrester from Watford, despite reported interest from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United for the highly rated teen. A transfer tribunal ruled in December 2007, on the compensation due to Watford as Forrester was only 16-years-old at the time he signed for Villa. An initial fee of £250,000 was set which could have potentially risen to £1.2 million as well as a percentage of the sell-on fee. 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 was released by Villa in May 2011 after his contract expired.
