Jonathan Ronald James Forte (born 25 July 1986) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for League Two club Notts County.
Born in Sheffield, he has also represented Barbados at international level. Forte's first professional contract came with his home town club Sheffield United before a move to Scunthorpe United in 2007. After four years he then signed for Southampton in 2011. During his career Forte has also spent time on loan at Doncaster Rovers, Rotherham United, Notts County, Preston North End and Crawley Town.
Forte was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. He started his career at Rotherham United as a schoolboy in the Academy, but opted to join the Sheffield United Academy, along with Billy Sharp after Rotherham turned him away. During his youth career he made several appearances for England at youth level.
Forte was mostly used as a substitute at Sheffield United, with only five of his appearances being from the start. He went on loan twice in the 2005–06 season, to Doncaster Rovers and Rotherham United. He scored eight times (four for each team) for these clubs, and played an important part in keeping Rotherham in League One.
