The midfielder has penned a one-year contract at Mill Farm, though the Coasters have the option of another 12 months.

The 26-year-old initially arrived at Fylde on a permanent deal in 2020 but later left to join Harrogate Town following relegation to the National League North.

Just two years later, and after brief spells at Notts County, Stockport County and Altrincham, he re-signed for Fylde on loan for the remainder of the 2021/22 season before now signing permanently.

Manager James Rowe told https://www.afcfylde.co.uk: “Tom has undoubted talent and hasn’t quite sustained the high levels he can reach on a consistent basis.

“There are many reasons for this, but it is now about him looking forwards, focusing on what he can control and working to his maximum – our environment will allow him to do this”.
