In February 2022, Forde joined Southern League Premier Division South club Kings Langley on a one-month loan. [8] He made his debut on 26 February in a 4–0 home win over Wimborne Town in the league, in which he scored a goal 10 minutes into the match, won a penalty kick and recorded an assist. [8] The loan was extended by a further month in March [9] before Forde was recalled by Watford on 1 April to join first-team training, [10] having scored two goals in three appearances for Kings Langley. [11] A successful 2021–22 season saw him named Watford's Young Player of the Season [12] before signing a professional contract with the club in July. [13]

Forde joined National League club York City on 28 December 2022 on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season. [14] He scored in the 90th minute of his debut on 2 January 2023 with a shot into the bottom-right corner of the goal as York drew 2–2 away to Gateshead, after entering the match as a 66th-minute substitute.
