Hornby-Forbes was a youth player at Preston North End and progressed through the academy.[3] However, at the end of the season, Hornby-Forbes was released by the club following his end of his scholarships and moved to Fleetwood Town in the summer of 2014.[4][5]

He made his professional debut for them on 15 November 2014, having lost his mother only a few days beforehand.[6] Usually a winger, Hornby-Forbes played as a right-back in that match due to the absence of usual starter Conor McLaughlin, who was absent on international duty with Northern Ireland.[6] On 20 March 2015, Hornby-Forbes provided an assist for Jamie Proctor to score the club's first goal of the game and the club went on to score a late equaliser to draw 2–2 against Bradford City.[7] Hornby-Forbes went on to be a first team regular in the 2014–15 season, playing in the right-back position and made seventeen appearance.[8] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Hornby-Forbes was offered a new contract by Fleetwood Town.[9]
