Forrester is new to the industry to very familiar with synthetic turf.
European Office CEO, Bryn Lee comments: 'The UK market is at a significant point in its development. We are now seeing more football clubs, than ever before, considering the merits of artificial turf. It makes perfect sense to bring in someone who has played at a high level, has first-hand experience of synthetic turf and can offer a different perspective to clubs, players and coaches.'
Forrester's football career took in 12 clubs, from Leeds United when they were a Premiership club, through the Football League and into both Holland and France. After retiring in 2009 he has worked as a coach, TV pundit and football consultant. Forrester adds: 'After a lifetime in football, I am really excited that I am able to join an industry that plays such a major role in the development of players, and provides a means for players of all ages and abilities to play on great surfaces.
'In my early days, I played on the plastic pitch at Luton Town and at Preston North End, so I know just how much artificial pitches have progressed. The new generation of systems, I have seen with CCGrass, are great to play and coach on.'
CCGrass is considered being the world's largest manufacturer of synthetic turf.
