Biography

Diminutive attacking player who is blessed with tremendous pace. Joins as a teenager on an initial six month loan until January 2026 from League Two Cheltenham Town. Proving that age is no barrier, Tom holds the record as the youngest-ever Football League debutant for the Robins; making his pro debut at the tender age of 16 years 316 days on the opening day of the 2023/24 campaign versus the town of Shrewsbury.

Scored his only goal so far for the club in an EFL Trophy tie against West Ham United U21s last term and also comes with international pedigree.

Capped by England at U18 level, he began 2024 by signing his first professional contract for his Parent club and ended the last campaign as Cheltenham’s Young Player of the Year, as well as earning a nomination for League One Apprentice of the Season too.

Made an instant impact when coming off the bench for his first appearance for us at home to Hampton & Richmond Borough on the 1st of November and provided the crowning glory by way of rounding off the scoring against promotion rivals Hemel Hempstead Town, a week later.
