Fornah signed for Argyle on a season-long loan from Championship side Nottingham Forest at the beginning of October 2020, becoming Ryan Lowe's 11th signing of the extended summer transfer window.
Born in Canning Town, Fornah joined Forest in 2018, having left Brighton & Hove Albion's academy. The combative and athletic midfielder impressed his new coaches with a series of excellent displays for the Reds’ under-23 side, which led to a three-year contract extension in December 2019. He made his first team debut a month later, coming off the bench in Forest’s FA Cup third round defeat at Premier League Chelsea.
In February 2020, Fornah moved on-loan to Casa Pia AC, in the Portuguese Second Division, for the remainder of the 2019-20 season. As a Pilgrim, the 21-year-old made his first team debut at Cheltenham in the EFL Trophy, four days after becoming a Green, and the following weekend made his full Football League debut against Burton Albion at Home Park, when was voted man of the match.
Used regularly by Ryan Lowe in Argyle's season of consolidation in League One, following the points-per-game promotion of the previous COVID-curtailed campaign, he played 44 times for the club, returning to Nottingham Forest at the end of the season.
In January 2022 he joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on loan until the end of the season, playing 17 times. The same season he also played a further three times for Forest in the Championship, adding to the single appearance he made in 2019-20.
For the 2022-23 season he signed on a season-long loan with Championship side Reading, playing 37 times, scoring twice. He was then released by Forest, having made four appearances in total whilst at the City Ground.
In August 2023 he joined League One club Derby County on a two-year contract. In November 2023, Fornah received his first call-up to the Sierra Leone national team for World Cup Qualifiers against Ethiopia and Egypt, making his debut against the former.
He made 24 appearances across two seasons at Pride Park, but finding Championship starts harder to come by in his second season, was loaned to League Two club Salford City in August 2024 on a season-long deal.
