Talented young keeper, who has represented England Under-20.  He played three times in the Premier Reserve League South title winning team in 2004-05 and has stepped up to be understudy of the reserve team keeper, with Rob Burch being released in the summer of 2007.

Establishing himself as the reserve goalkeeper with Ben Alnwick out on loan, he proved a solid keeper, with good shot stopping skills and also good handling on crosses.  He read the game well and looked like he might step up in the next season or two.

Tommy made six appearances on the bench for the first team during 2007-08, with Radek Cerny deputising for the out of form or injured Paul Robinson.  However, he did not make it onto the pitch and at the end of the season, Forecast left to join Southampton on a five year deal for an undisclosed sum.  Initially he was third choice keeper at the New Dell, even though there were a number of clubs interested in signing him.

Failed to make a name for himself at the South Coast club, with a succession of managers coming in to take charge, so spent some time out on loan to get some serious action under his belt.
