Career

Tomlinson made his first-team debut for Northampton Town aged 15 years and 336 days, making him the youngest player in the club's history when he played in a centre-back partnership with Dominic Revan in a 2–1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion U21 in an EFL Trophy match at Sixfields Stadium; manager Jon Brady said that "he hardly put a foot wrong, his distribution was good and he read the game well".
