Since leaving Barwell at the end of the 2016-17 season, Tomkinson had a short spell with Coventry Sphinx before spending the majority of last season with Worcester City.

During his previous spell at Kirkby Road, Tomkinson's form attracted interest from the Football League and led to interest from Birmingham City and Crewe Alexandra.

We hope that Tomkinson will be able to replicate his previous Barwell form and look forward to welcoming him back to the club for pre-season.
