Biography
Carlos Forbs
Portuguese winger Carlos Forbs made a deadline day loan move from Ajax to Wolves in summer 2024.
The highly rated winger’s loan automatically becomes permanent should certain clauses be triggered, and following a season in the Eredivisie, Forbs now returns to the UK having spent eight years as part of the Manchester City academy.
The pacy Forbs, who can play on either wing, moved to England at the age of 11 and was quickly snapped up by City’s academy in 2015, and was regularly amongst the goals and assists as he progressed through the age groups.
At under-18 level, Forbs played alongside Tommy Doyle, with whom he’s now reunited at Molineux, and by May 2021 was voted the club’s Under-18 Player of the Season.
Playing in Europe for the under-21s helped Forbs step up a level further, scoring 25 goals and providing 13 assists in a team which featured the likes of Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia, showing the threat Forbs carried.
When it came to a permanent move, Ajax won the battle for his signature and handed him 32 senior appearances, with his first goal coming in the Europa League against Marseille, while he played six times during the 2024/25 season before his deadline day switch to Molineux.
Internationally, Forbs has played for four Portuguese groups, including the under-21s, for whom he has been called up for the upcoming internationals alongside Wolves man Rodrigo Gomes.
