William Samuel Forrester
Center Back · Leyton Orient · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
The record covers 6 seasons (2022/23–2025/26) across 5 clubs — 124 appearances with 5 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2022/23 at Port Vale — Season rating 23, 2 goals and 1 assist in 35 games. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (13 → 12). The gap to his peak is 12 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 7 fixtures missed through injury or absence. Season-to-season output barely moves — his form has stayed within a tight band (±5 points) across 4 campaigns. Made the jump to a higher division in 2022/23 (League One) and kept playing — 35 games that season.
