Forde,
who has been the Robins` under-18 keeper for the last two seasons, has
graduated to play for the reserves this season and is very highly regarded at the
J.Davidson Stadium.
The
17-year-old will provide cover for the injured former Curzon Ashton keeper
Hakan Burton and made his debut in Saturday's fixture against Trafford.
As
well as gaining valuable experience at a good level, Forde will also benefit
from the vast experience of former England keeper Chris Kirkland, who is the
Reds' goalkeeping coach.
