Needham Market are delighted to announce our second summer signing in defender Tom Dickens.
Dickens started his career at Cambridge United, where he progressed through the Academy, making his first team debut for the U's in January 2022 as a substitute in a 2-1 win over Portsmouth in the EFL Trophy.
While at Cambridge, Tom gained experience of senior football on loan at St Neots Town and Chelmsford City before joining Welling United and Cheshunt, both on a permanent basis.
The centre-back has since around 100 appearances for AFC Sudbury, and was awarded the Supporters Player of the Season last week.
Manager Tom Rothery told the club website, "Delighted to get Tom on board. I’ve watched him several times now and he’s impressed me every time I’ve seen him so to get him in the building is great news for us at the football club. Meeting him in person was as impressive, a really intelligent young man and there’s a real desire to improve and progress his career hopefully we can play a part in that and he’s certainly a player who I believe can help us achieve our goals and that along the way will help him achieve his I think."
Tom Dickens said on joining the Marketmen, "It always seemed like a great club to play for and I couldn’t be happier to be on board for the new season!"
