Howard Forinton (born 18 September 1975 in Boston, Lincolnshire) is an English former professional footballer who currently plays for Redditch United.
Forinton began his career as an apprentice at Oxford United, but was released at the end of his apprenticeship. He joined Abingdon Town and after a short spell at Oxford City, he joined Yeovil Town where he scored 23 goals in just 25 matches. His prolific scoring soon caught the eye of Birmingham City boss Trevor Francis, who paid £75,000 for him. He made very few first-team appearances but finished as top scorer for Birmingham's reserve team in both of his seasons at the club. While at Birmingham City he went on loan to both Plymouth Argyle and Blackpool.
In November 1999, he signed for Peterborough United for £250,000. However, after a number of injuries he failed to impress. He looked set to join Plymouth Argyle in July 2000[1], but remained with Peterborough and joined Yeovil Town on loan in 2001.
Forinton moved to Torquay United on a free transfer in August 2002[2] and made just one appearance before going back to Yeovil on a monthly contract later the same month.[3] He was released by Yeovil in November 2002 while awaiting operations on both ankles.[4] He joined Oxford City the following month[5] He then moved to Stevenage Borough in June 2003,[6] but was released in September 2003[7] and returned to Oxford City the following month.[8]
In November 2003 Forinton moved to Farnborough Town.[9] He then moved to Banbury United in June 2004,[10] leaving to join Halesowen Town in May 2005.[11] After one season at Halesowen he re-signed for Banbury in May 2006.[12] In October 2006 he rejected a move to Bath City, opting to stay at Banbury.[13]
Forinton left Banbury United after the departure of manager Kevin Brock to join Redditch United in June 2007.[14]
