He was loaned out to a succession of clubs that included Stockport County and Bristol Rovers.
At Norwich City he played 38 league games over the course of the season and kept 18 clean sheets.
He was again loaned out, this time to Celtic, but on this occasion his loan move was made permanent by manager Neil Lennon after two hugely successful seasons with The Celts.
His performance in last season's legendary 2-1 win against Barcelona was particularly lauded.
Neil Lennon: "With Fraser Forster, I have one of the best (goalkeepers) in the competition (Champions League)."
Celtic again face Barcelona in tonight's Champions League clash at Celtic Park.
