Lee Tomlin signs for Ilkeston

.

Lee Tomlin signs for the Robins    Dec 1, 2022



We are delighted to confirm the signing of attacking midfielder Lee Tomlin. The 33-year-old has agreed a deal to become player-coach at the Microlise New Manor Ground and will go straight into the squad for this weekend’s trip to Redditch United. Tomlin has vast experience in the professional game, particularly at Championship level with Peterborough United, Cardiff City, Bristol City, Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest. He has over 500 professional appearances to his name, scoring 122 goals. He also played in the Premier League with Bournemouth, and ironically his move between Cardiff City and Nottingham Forest was a swap loan deal with current Robins player-manager Jamie Ward moving the other way. Tomlin was at Doncaster Rovers earlier this season, making nine appearances and scoring once before leaving the club last month. Photo: Yorkshire Post Newspapers

Well that's the shortest retirement in history isn't  it ?
Looks a great signing and doesn't look injury prone neither.
