Jonathan Forte

Forte started his career with Sheffield United and rejoined them on-loan from Saints back in 2013.

His scoring rate wasn’t too special there though and he only managed two goals in 44 appearances across both spells.

After joining Saints from Scunthorpe United, his four goals in 15 games was hardly remarkable either.

However, he really found his scoring touch at Notts County, Oldham Athletic and Doncaster Rovers, but was sadly forced to retire at the beginning of this current season due to injury.
