He has returned to England and is now into week four of the PFA's pre-season programme, which enables those without a contract to work together and impress in pre-season friendlies.
A long list of players with EFL experience are training alongside Forestieri, including former Ipswich and Bristol City midfielder Sam Morsy and ex-Preston striker Will Keane.
A PFA XI beat Barnet 3-1 last week, with Forestieri involved in the game.
The popular ex-Hornet signed for the club in 2012, scoring 21 goals and assisting another 23 in 92 appearances.
The Argentine-Italian epitomised by the spirit shown by an influx of arrivals from Udinese around that time, which also included Almen Abdi and Matej Vydra.
He played a crucial role in Troy Deeney's iconic play-off semi-final winner against Leicester City in 2013, crossing for Jonathan Hogg to head back for Deeney to power in.
And after promotion was achieved in 2015, Forestieri then became even more of a favourite at Sheffield Wednesday, where he inspired back-to-back runs to the play-offs.
He then spent 15 months at Udinese, before spells at Johor Darul Ta'zim in Malaysia and then AEL Limassol.
