Kevin Forrest (born November 3, 1984 in Seattle, Washington) is a retired American soccer player.
Forrest grew up in Edmonds, Washington, and began his career with various youth soccer teams in the Seattle area, including Emerald City FC, and the Crossfire Sounders, where he was coached by former Seattle Sounders coach Alan Hinton. Forrest attended Edmonds-Woodway High School, and played college soccer at the University of Washington, scoring 34 goals and earning All American and Pac-10 honors including Pac-10 Player of the Year in 2006. He medical redshirted the 2005 season with the onset of plantar fasciitis. His final season, 2007, was cut short despite a promising beginning when he suffered a season ending stress fracture.
During his college years Forrest also played for Hibernian & Caledonian in the Pacific Coast Soccer League winning a USASA national championship in 2005.
Forrest was drafted by Colorado Rapids with the third pick of the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft, but was suffering from another stress fracture in pre-season training, and was eventually released by the Rapids on March 3, 2008. On July 31, 2008, Forrest signed with the Seattle Sounders of the USL First Division for the remainder of the season, and subsequently played in nine games for the team.
On 24 March 2009, Forrest signed a contract with MLS expansion team Seattle Sounders FC for the 2009 season after the Sounders acquired his rights from the Rapids. He made no league appearances but played in one US Open Cup game, scoring against his former team Colorado Rapids in a 1–0 victory. On July 2, 2009, Forrest started a game for the Portland Timbers against Bayern Munich II. He scored the game's first goal in the 8th minute and the Timbers signed him to a contract for the remainder of the 2009 season, and he subsequently played in the 10 remaining games for the team on the way to their league title and record 23-game unbeaten streak. He recorded the game-winning assist against eventual champions Montreal Impact in regular season play.
