Club career
Born in Reconquista, Santa Fe, Forlín made his Primera División debut on 19 April 2008 as his team Boca Juniors won 2–1 against Newell's Old Boys.[2] In his first full season, he was an undisputed starter as the Buenos Aires-based side claimed that year's Apertura.[3][4]
Forlín was signed by RCD Espanyol from Spain on 25 August 2009 – alongside Boca teammate Facundo Roncaglia – on a five-year contract, with the Catalans paying a fee of €4 million for 70% of his rights.[5] He made his La Liga debut on 12 September, in a 0–3 home loss to Real Madrid.[6] He scored in his next appearance, a 3–2 away victory over Deportivo de La Coruña,[7] and finished his debut campaign with 24 appearances, receiving 11 yellow cards and being sent off once.[8]
During his spell with the Pericos, Forlín was regularly used by his compatriot Mauricio Pochettino as both a central defender and a defensive midfielder. The same befell him under Javier Aguirre, who was appointed in November 2012.[9][10]
On 20 July 2013, Forlín moved to Qatar Stars League club Al-Rayyan SC for an undisclosed fee.[11] He was released in July 2015.[12]
