Thomas Michael "Tom" Aldred (born 11 September 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for League One club Blackpool. He has also played for Carlisle United in the Football League and made loan appearances for Workington, Stockport County, Inverness Caledonian Thistle in Scotland and Barrow. He was also on the books at Watford and Colchester United but failed to make a first-team appearance for either club.

Club career

Carlisle United

Born in Bolton, Greater Manchester,[1] Aldred began his senior career with Carlisle United.[2] He was captain of the Carlisle youth team and signed his first professional deal with the club in December 2008.[3]

Aldred won the 2008–09 season League One Apprentice of the Year Award,[4] before winning Carlisle's youth team Player of the Year award.[5]

In August 2009, Aldred joined Workington on an initial month-long loan[6] and earned rave reviews from the Conference North side's manager, Darren Edmondson, during a stay that was extended to the maximum three months following some excellent displays in the Cumbrian side's defence.[7] He went on to make his first team debut for Carlisle as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win over Wycombe Wanderers on 12 December 2009.[8]

In May 2010, following a promising campaign, Aldred was offered a one-year contract extension with Carlisle.[9] However, Aldred rejected the offer and left the club, having made five first-team appearances for Carlisle.[10]

Watford

Aldred joined Championship club Watford on a two-year deal on 1 July 2010, with a compensation offer made to Carlisle.[11] He felt that the move south would benefit his career.[12]

Still yet to make an appearance for Watford, Aldred joined Stockport County on loan in November 2010 until January 2011.[13] He made seven appearances for County.[14]

On 21 June 2011, Aldred joined Scottish Premier League club Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a six-month loan deal.[15] He made his debut in a 3–0 away defeat to Motherwell on 23 July,[16] and made four appearances in total, his last a 2–0 defeat to Rangers where he conceded a penalty[17] as his loan was cut short only one month into the spell.[2]

On his return to Watford, Aldred was released from the club having not made a first team appearance on 31 August 2011.[18]

Colchester United

Colchester United manager John Ward signed Aldred on a two-year deal following his Watford release on 1 September 2011.[19] Two months later, he was loaned to Torquay United from 24 November to 2 January as injury cover, although he failed to make an appearance for the Gulls.[20]

Having failed to break into the Colchester first-team setup, Aldred joined Barrow on loan on 27 August 2012. He made his debut in a 2–0 defeat to Macclesfield Town.[21] His loan was extended to the full 93 days allowed after he impressed during his initial month.[22] Aldred completed his loan having made 13 appearances for Barrow.[23]

After Colchester appointed Joe Dunne as manager, Aldred found himself further down the pecking order, and on 25 January 2013 the club announced that Aldred had been released from his contract.[24]

Accrington Stanley

Following his release from Colchester, Aldred signed a contract until the end of the 2012–13 season with Accrington Stanley on 31 January 2013.[25] He signed a new two-year contract with the club on 18 June having started the final 12 games of the 2012–13 season.[26]

Blackpool

Aldred signed for Championship side Blackpool on a 28-day emergency loan on 31 January 2015,[27] before signing permanently two days later on a one-and-a-half-year contract.[28]

International career

Aldred represented Scotland at under-19 level.[29]
