Career

Born in Ivybridge,[4] Tomlinson joined Plymouth Argyle's academy as an under-13,[2] and signed his first professional contract in 2020.[5]

He made his professional debut on 8 September 2020, when he started in Argyle's 3–2 defeat to Norwich City U21s in the EFL Trophy.[6] Just a few days after making his debut, Tomlinson signed on loan for Southern League Div1 South side Barnstaple Town.[7] He made his league debut for Plymouth on 1 May 2021 as a 68th-minute substitute in a 3–1 defeat to Sunderland.[8]

On 4 November 2021, Tomlinson joined Southern League Premier Division South side Truro City on a three-month loan deal.[9]

Tomlinson was released by Plymouth at the end of the 2021–22 season[10] before signing for National League club Torquay United in July 2022.[11] In January 2023, he joined National League South side Taunton Town on loan.[12] In March 2023, he joined Chippenham Town on a loan deal until the end of the season.[13] In November 2024, he joined Bath City on a one-month loan deal.[14] On 24 December 2024, he extended his loan until the end of the season.[15] On 21 January 2025, this loan became a permanent transfer when it was announced that Tomlinson had signed a contract until the end of the 2025–26 season.[16]
