Tomlin has spent the majority of his career in the Championship and amassed several million pounds in transfer fees.

His form at Boro earned him a move to the Premier League with AFC Bournemouth in 2016 for a reported £3.5 million.

He made six appearances in the top flight before joining Bristol City.

Leicester-born Tomlin was also part of the Cardiff side promoted to the Premier League in the 2017/18 season and helped them reach the play-offs as player of the season in 19/20.

He left the Bluebirds by mutual consent in October before joining Walsall, with whom he made five appearances - four of them off the bench.
