Bedford Town Football Club is delighted to announce that Connor Tomlinson has signed a new deal to remain at the club. The 21 year old has committed his future to Bedford, and has signed a contract that will keep him at the Eyrie until the summer of 2024.

Tomlinson, who won the Supporters Club player of the year in 2020, had a prolific season alongside Rene Howe, scoring 21 goals as the Eagles clinched the PitchingIn Southern League Division One Central title.

The young striker is now just 4 appearances away from his century, and is likely to complete this in August and become one of the youngest ever players to reach this milestone for the club.

The Executive Committee are delighted that Connor has decided to commit his future to the Eagles. He had interest from other clubs, as we expected, and we are extremely pleased that he sees his immediate future at the Eyrie under Gary Setchell.

Speaking to www.bedfordeagles.net, Manager Gary Setchell said "I'm delighted that Connor has committed to remain part of the club and our plans for moving forward. He scored a good amount of goals in the last campaign, and we look forward to seeing him add more to that when the season starts in August."

Connor joins young goalkeeper Elliot Duffy in signing for the new season. They'll be on show at the Eagles preseason friendlies, which begin on Saturday 2nd July, with the home fixture against Biggleswade FC.

Connor's signing also sees us launch the new season of player sponsorship. You can sponsor players once they have been signed, meaning that Connor and Elliot are available. Player sponsorship is £150 and for further details, please contact commercial@bedfordeagles.net
