Forgan joined York City for a fee of £500 in the summer of 1954 having been placed on the transfer list by his previous club Hull City where he had spent five years. He had previously played for Middlesbrough local non-league side Sutton Estates. He spent twelve years with York, making a total of 428 appearances. He was a part of the team which played in the FA Cup semi-final in 1955. He was selected to play for the Third Division North side against the South in April 1957.
