Playing career
International honours
Tom Helm represented South of Scotland (RU) while at Hawick, and was selected for Great Britain (RL) while at Oldham for the 1910 Great Britain Lions tour of Australia and New Zealand.[2] However, a knee injury sustained prior to departing on the tour, was exacerbated by a tug of war competition with the passengers on-board the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) steamship SS Malwa, he played no matches during the tour, and would not play again for Oldham until December 1910.[1]
Club career
Tom Helm's final match for Oldham took place against Runcorn in April of the 1910–11 Northern Rugby Football Union season, at the end of that season, along with other Oldham players, he signed for Coventry, but he does not appear to have played any matches for Coventry.[1]
