Following a chat with Manager Karl Marginson, the man known throughout non-league football as "The Butcher" (his day job!) ends his second spell at Trafford.

Tom originally made his debut for the club in 2011 as a teenager, and across two seasons in his first spell, he scored 8 goals in 31 appearances. Returning to the club in the summer of 2022, the big striker made a further 40 appearances scoring 17 goals, making his total Trafford career 71 appearances, 25 goals.

Tom also stepped in as interim Player-Manager recently, following the departure of Danny Caldecott, leading the side to a 2-2 draw at City of Liverpool.

It goes without saying that we wish Tom all the very best as he departs Shawe View, and we thank him for his service and commitment as a Trafford player.
