Initially, Forde had ambitions of "looking to make the first team" at a time when David James was firmly established as England's World Cup number one, however, the signing of Raimond van der Gouw in the summer of 2002 pushed him further down the pecking order. At the start of the 2002/2003 season, manager Glenn Roeder made Forde available for loan and it was then when Forde first joined Derry City F.C. After spending the season on loan at The Brandywell, Forde moved back to his hometown and signed for League of Ireland First Division side Galway United. It was here, that Forde built a fine reputation in Irish football circles and his form earned him a permanent move back to Derry City F.C. for the 2005/2006 season. During this season, he was ever present for 'City', consistently producing excellent performances and helping them to a second place finish in the League of Ireland Premier Division.
