Towels at the ready

Stafford Rangers are delighted to announce the signing of central midfielder Tom Tonks.

Fans will have fond memories of “Tonksy” after his previous stint at the club where he helped us win the Staffordshire Senior Cup, and wowed fans with his trademark set-pieces.

Since then he’s enjoyed a fruitful few years, winning promotion to the National League with Tamworth, as well as gaining national recognition for his part in The Lambs FA Cup run that ended against Tottenham Hotspur in the third round.

Following his departure from Tamworth, he became a free agent and manager Graham Deakin worked tirelessly in order to get the deal done, and welcome back the fans favourite to the Stan Robinson Stadium.

Deakz said on the signing:

“I’m really chuffed to get Tonksy through the door. It was about finding the right profile of player, and did I think it would happen? Three to four weeks ago, no.

Personally though I have worked really hard on this deal, and I have known Tonksy a long time, so to get it over the line I am absolutely delighted.”

Tonks rejoins the side having already made 93 appearances for the club, scoring 24 goals during that time.

We hope you can all welcome Tom back to the club
