Club career

edit

Born in La Barca de la Florida, Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Andalusia, Forján was a Xerez CD youth graduate. On 8 June 2013, while still a youth, he made his first team debut by starting and scoring the first in a 2–1 Segunda División home win against FC Barcelona B, as his side was already relegated.[2]

Forján left the club in October 2013, and subsequently signed for Arcos CF in Tercera División. The following 6 July he joined fellow league team San Fernando CD,[3] but returned to his previous club on 16 January 2015 after terminating his contract.[4]

On 9 July 2015, Forján agreed to a deal with Atlético Sanluqueño CF, still in the fourth division.[5] On 5 August of the following year, after a short spell back at Arcos, he moved to UB Lebrijana.[6]

In July 2017 Forjá signed with Albacete Balompié, being assigned to the reserves still in the fourth tier. He made his first team debut the following 14 January, coming on as a late substitute for Jérémie Bela in a 2–1 home win against Granada CF for the second level championship.[7]
