Forde joined Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds's side in 2022 from Oxford United and played a big role in Wrexham earning two straight promotions to League One. But all four of his appearances this season came in the English Football League Trophy (EFL), as he failed to make a league outing. However, his place in Wrexham's history is assured.
