Tommy Steven Forecast (born 15 October 1986) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper and is without a club.
Having started his career with Tottenham Hotspur, he made his début in the Football League for Grimsby Town, after joining the club on loan from Southampton. He has also played for Eastbourne Borough, Thurrock, Bromley and Gillingham.
Born in Newham, east London, Forecast joined the Tottenham Hotspur Academy system, and his first major impact came in the 2004–05 season with a string of fine displays as their Under-18s goalkeeper and helped his team reach the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup which included saves in a penalty shootout at Anfield.
After his stand out successes in the FA Youth Cup he was named in the first team squad as substitute six times during the 2007–08 Premier League but never played in a first-team game and quickly decided on a move away from White Hart Lane.
In July 2008, Forecast was signed up by Southampton for an undisclosed fee on a five-year contract. At Southampton, he became very much a third choice keeper behind Kelvin Davis and Bartosz Białkowski, and therefore has appeared more at reserve team level; however after Białkowski's loan to Ipswich Town at the end of the 2008–09 season he became second choice keeper.
