Career

Born in Cardiff, he began his playing career at Norwich City, and although he made regular appearances in the reserve team he was released before making his first team debut. He signed for Bristol Rovers on 12 September 1996 and went on to make 42 league appearances for the club, and was released in the summer of 1998 after failing to agree terms on a new contract. After unsuccessful trials at Walsall and Cardiff City he moved to Merthyr Tydfil in the Southern League for the 1998–99 season.
Tom moved to League of Wales team Llanelli during the 1999–2000 season and the following year he joined Haverfordwest County, also in the League of Wales. He briefly re-joined Merthyr at the start of the 2001–02 season, before being released in November 2001, and then signed for Barry Town. He remained at Barry until the beginning of the 2003–04 season, when financial problems lead to the team releasing its entire first-team squad.
His next move was due to be to Southern League team Bath City, but because the move from Wales to England counts as an international transfer under FIFA rules there was a delay while he waited for the international transfer window to open. During this time he temporarily signed for Carmarthen Town, before finally being able to move to Bath in September 2003. Two months later, in November 2003, he moved to Aylesbury United who were playing in the Ryman League at the time. In January 2004 he had an unsuccessful trial with Queens Park Rangers and was later released by Aylesbury. Later he returned to Wales and joined Carmarthen Town for a second spell at the club.
He spent two years with Haverfordwest County before joining Aberaman Athletic in May 2009. However, he returned to Haverfordwest just seven months later.
