Marketmen Bring in Neighbours Defender

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central club Needham Market have announced the signing of defender Tommy Smith from Isthmian League North neighbours Stowmarket Town.

Switching from Greens Meadow to Bloomfields just three miles up the road, manager Kevin Horlock is delighted to have captured his signature on a long-term deal.

The full back joined Stowmarket in June 2022 on a more permanent basis following his release by Ipswich Town.

He came through the academy at Portman Road and made the first team squad in the EFL Cup.

He made 8 appearances for Stow at the end of the 2021/22 season, culminating in the play-off semi-final defeat against Brentwood Town.

He received two awards for Stowmarket at the end of last season, winning the managers` and players` player of the season trophies which showed just how good a season he had and quality of player the Marketmen have signed.
