Career

Early career

Tomlin started his career with the youth system of Leicester City in 1998 before joining Rushden & Diamonds's youth system in 2005.[2] In October 2005, he became Rushden's youngest ever player when he came on as a substitute for Drewe Broughton in the 74th minute.[3] Throughout the rest of the season he made several more substitute appearances, but his first start came in November 2005, in an FA Cup first round replay against Halifax Town. He made 21 appearances in League Two in the 2005–06 season.[4]

Before the 2006–07 season, Tomlin attracted the attention of several big clubs and he earned a trial with Liverpool.[5] Throughout the season, he made more starts and became more of a regular in the Rushden starting eleven.[6] He scored his first goal for the club against Weymouth, the match after Paul Hart was sacked, in the 21st minute. He immediately followed this with another goal, this time against Altrincham in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round. He scored six goals during the season, playing as a forward and on both wings.

Tomlin switched to left midfield for the 2009–10 season, under his influential manager Justin Edinburgh whom he credited for his development and achieving his move to the Football League.[citation needed] Following the end of the season a six-figure bid for Tomlin was rejected from another Blue Square Bet Premier club believed to be Crawley Town and Rushden confirmed he would be offered a new contract.[7]

Peterborough United

Tomlin signed for League One team Peterborough United for an undisclosed fee on 6 August 2010.[8] He went on to assist the team gain promotion with a hard working display against Huddersfield Town at Old Trafford, which The Posh won 3–0.

He continued to develop his reputation at the Championship level and on 20 August 2011, he scored his first professional hat-trick in a game against Ipswich Town, helping Peterborough to a 7–1 win.[9] On 10 December 2011 he scored a diving header against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium to rescue a point, the game ended 1–1.

Tomlin beat five defenders to score in Peterborough's last game of the 2012–13 season, away to Crystal Palace, but the 3–2 defeat confirmed their relegation back to League One.[10]

Middlesbrough

On 31 January 2014, Tomlin signed for Middlesbrough on loan for the remainder of the 2013–14 season with a view to a permanent move. On 18 February, it was announced that he had signed a permanent deal on a three-and-a-half-year contract. Tomlin made his debut on 22 February in a 0–0 draw against Leeds United, coming on as a substitute for Kei Kamara. After a run of fine performances, most notable in Middlesbrough's 2–0 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup, Tomlin was named Championship Player of The Month for January 2015.
