Tom Brighton (born 28 March 1984) is a Scottish professional association footballer who plays at centre forward. He is currently without a club.[1]

Career

Brighton began his career at Rangers, where he played only one game, before going to Scunthorpe United for a short loan spell.[2] He was released from his contract with Rangers in June 2005.[3]

He was then recruited by Clyde during the close season and made his debut in the opening league game against Ross County.[4] Brighton was voted Man of the Match in Clyde's Scottish Cup shock win over Celtic. He left Clyde in 2006 after manager Graham Roberts was accused of racist remarks during a pre-season tour of Canada.[5]

Brighton moved to Millwall in June 2006.[6] His time at Millwall was however disrupted by several injuries.[7]

On 8 May 2008 it was announced that Brighton had signed a pre-contract with St. Mirren. Brighton's contract was not renewed at the end of the 2009–10 season.

He signed for Stirling Albion in February 2011. It was announced he was to be released from his contract on 15 May 2011.[8]

Queen of the South manager, Gus MacPherson, having known Brighton from his time as St. Mirren manager, offered him training facilities during the summer of 2011 and he also played him in a few pre-season friendlies. Brighton was then offered a contract on 21 July 2011 with Queens which he accepted.[9] His debut was on 23 July 2011 the extra time 2–0 defeat away at Ayr United in the 2011-12 Scottish Challenge Cup.[10] Tom scored a 78th-minute winner against Stranraer in his second start.

Brighton left Queens for Junior side Irvine Meadow in July 2012.[11] In June 2013 it was announced that he had left the club.
