He started out at Boca Juniors, then spent four years in La Liga with Espanyol, appearing in 118 official matches and scoring two goals.

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. In his first full season, he was an undisputed starter as the Buenos Aires-based side claimed that year's Apertura.

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. He made his La Liga debut on 12 September, in a 0–3 home loss to Real Madrid.

On 20 July 2013, Forlín moved to Qatar Stars League club Al-Rayyan SC for an undisclosed fee. He was released in July 2015.
