We welcome the ex-Kettering centre half back to Church Street after a spell with us last season.

Tom is a commanding and uncompromising centre half who stepped away from football last season and has got himself in fantastic shape ahead of the new campaign.

Swanny said, “We were sorry that Tom left last season but our back line was a very difficult unit to break into. With player departures there is a huge opportunity for someone to come in and be a consistent figure at the heart of the defence.

"We kept in touch with Tom, he has good pedigree despite still being young, and we are chuffed to have him back on board."
