All the best Tom thank you for your contribution both on and off the pitch. Will always keep an eye on you ! Knock em out in the National league.

Tom's against Yeovil wasn't bad either! (Around about 59 seconds in)

[ValeForever.]

All the best Tom. Kept us out of trouble virtually single handed during the Covid year, should never be forgotten.

Some moments of sheer quality & class as well with that left foot. Wish him really well at Oldham.

Go well Tom.

Good luck, Tom. Hope all goes well for you in the Boundary Park refrigerator!

I think his time here has been viewed as a success. Looked really good for us in L2 when we were not a good side. Included in that time was his amazing goal V's Barrow 

 

Part of the promotion side so has that to look back on.

It's a sign of how much we have improved. Our midfield is so much better now and he sadly has dropped down the pecking order. He isn't going to be part of the plans so sadly its right for him to go...

Sterling player for us though.

And a great goal, that one! Good luck with the next phase of your career, Tom!

Proper Potteries lad, history with the club, involvement in the community side. Great clubman will be fondly remembered by me.

Only issue Tom ever had really is that he lacked any turn of speed and was extremely one paced. Give him time on the ball and there aren't any issues. But the higher up the leagues you go, the less time you have generally.

But he was genuinely a fine player for the club and a great captain. Always came across as extremely likeable. Can't think there'll be many better players in the National League, that's for sure! Oldham have got themselves a gem.

All the best!

I should like to add my own thanks to Tom for all his contributions to PV during the time he's been with us. 

Good wishes for your next spell at Oldham and wherever your future takes you Tom.

UTV!

A further nice snippet from TC taken from an interview with the Oldham official website.

Asked about his time at Vale Park: "Absolutely loved it. I really did. Can't fault anything about it. It's a club that did mean a hell of a lot to me.... but I'm looking forward this is the next step in my career."

Good luck Tom, thanks for the great memories.

Tom's contribution was magnificent he is a real role model of a good professional.  Sadly injuries curtailed his career towards the end of his time with us and the step up a league, allied to his injuries were telling factors.  

I cannot imagine any Vale fan failing to be generous in acknowledging Tom's contribution. His last message sums him up as a person.  I hope he leads Oldham back into the football league, at age 27, if he maintains fitness, he will be a huge asset to them.

Adios Tom.

Good luck Tom, hope it works out for you.

[Old School]

Thanks for everything Tom. Best wishes for personal and professional success and happiness. You will always be welcome at Vale Park.

[pete vale]

Best of luck Tom and thank you for your time at Port Vale.

Best wishes from me Tom, go and smash plenty of those free kicks in from just outside the box. Best of luck.
