He played for Fareham Town, Barnsley, Crewe Alexandra and Scarborough.[3]
Foreman is Scarborough's all-time top goalscorer in the Football League with 35 goals (they were a Football League team from 1987 to 1999), 27 of which were scored in the 1992–93 season. However, he suffered a career-ending injury soon afterwards, although he did continue playing at non-league level. After the end of his professional career, he played for several non-league clubs, including Gateshead, Guiseley, and Barrow, before rejoining Scarborough to serve in a number of non-playing roles. He also played 22 games (12 goals) for IK Sirius, Uppsala in Sweden in 1995.
He is now a paramedic, in the Scarborough area.
