Lock joined the Gulls from league rivals Coggeshall Town in October 2019.

The 35-year-old joined the Seedgrowers, also as player-coach, in June 2019 after claiming the Isthmian North title with Bowers & Pitsea at the end of the 2018/19 season after coming out of retirement for the first time.

He was previously on the books of Maldon & Tiptree where he was captain and with the Jammers, he led his side to a play-off final after an impressive season but narrowly missed out 1-0 in the final.

He has played at various levels across the country as well as a brief spell in Australia with Bunbury Forum Force.

His previous English clubs include Exeter City, where he made 3 League appearances, Team Bath, Tiverton Town, Mangotsfield United, Chelmsford City, Dover Athletic and Gloucester City.
