Rovers caretaker boss Kevin Broadhurst said: "Jamie is the kind of player who can score you five goals in eight games and that's exactly what we need right now.
"He's a talented striker and there has been a lot of competition from other clubs wanting to sign him."
Forrester has failed to command a first team place this season, with most of his appearances coming as a substitute or occassionally starting when Danny Allsopp has been injured. From those chances he's scored 4 league goals as well as one in the LDV Trophy. Recently he hasn't even made the bench after the return to fitness of Allsopp and the purchase of Jon Walters from Bolton.
The Bradford-born player was originally signed by Peter Taylor on a free transfer from Northampton in January 2003, and he scored three times before suffering an ankle injury in the run-in.
He will now link up with ex-Tiger Ryan Williams and formee City loan striker Paul Tait at the Memorial Ground, and is tipped to start against York on Saturday. The Pirates are currently locked in a relegation battle and are just three points above safety.
