The
20-year-old is widely regarded as one of Rovers’ most exciting prospects,
having made 5 substitute appearances for the first team since turning
professional two years ago.
With
Tomlinson also gaining experience on loan at National League South side Bath
City earlier this season, his addition to the squad provides Gulls boss Gary
Johnson with another exciting option as the 2020/21 campaign heads towards its
climax.
Johnson
told https://torquayunited.com: “He’s a
wide player, and he can play both sides.
“We
felt that we needed another wide player in our squad. We’ve been watching him
for a month or so, and he played against us in behind-closed-doors friendly and
did very well – He scored one and made one against us.
“He’s
only a little ‘un, but he’s got quick feet and he’s ‘jinky’. He’s going to be
very dangerous in the final third, once he gets to know our game and what he
needs to do for us. We may not see him early – or we may do. We don’t know yet,
but at the moment he looks exactly the type we’re pleased to have in our club”. |
