Bedford Town Football Club is delighted to announce that Graeme Tomlinson has joined the club. The popular figure will take up the role of First Team Coach, working alongside Ronayne Marsh-Brown and Gil Octave in Mark Ducket's management team.

Tomlinson returns to the Eyrie having played for the club under Kevin Wilson in 2003. Before this, he had an exciting playing career starting with Bradford City, before moving to Manchester United playing alongside the class of 92. Unfortunately, he suffered a broken leg but went on to play for Wimbledon, Luton Town, Bournemouth, Millwall, Exeter and Stevenage. Since retiring he has become a successful businessman and coached at Barton Rovers.

Speaking to www.bedfordeagles.net Manager Mark Ducket said "We've managed to secure the services of an experienced individual who has played at the top of the game. Graeme brings professionalism and I look forward to his knowledge being passed on to our exciting squad."

New coach Tomlinson said "I'm pleased to be involved with the club this season. Obviously I have a keen interest in Connor's development. However, Bedford is a club I have supported and look forward to being able to be involved in what we all hope will be an exciting season."
