Tom English (born 25 December 1983) is an English former footballer who played as a defender for Queen of the South and Livingston.[1]
English began his career in the Newcastle United youth academy but left the club before signing professional terms with the Magpies.[2]
He signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Livingston in 2003 after impressing during a 3-day trial.[3] Unfortunately the timing of his signing could not have been worse as Livi went into administration in 2004 and English was one of six players to have their contracts terminated.[4] English failed to make a single first team appearance during his short stay at the Almondvale Stadium.
Shortly after his release from Livi, English signed for Partick Thistle in February 2004.[5] He made his debut on 28 February 2004, in a 3–0 defeat away to Motherwell in the Scottish Premier League.[6] He was released from the club at the end of the 2003–2004 season.
Following his release from Thistle, he signed for Queen of the South on 30 June 2004.[7] He scored from the penalty spot on his debit in a 2-0 Scottish League Cup win against Airdrieonians on 31 July 2004.[8] English made 46 appearances and scored one goal before leaving Queens in 2006.
English played the rest of his career in non-league football in England for Durham City, Spennymoor United, Bedlington Terriers, Ashington.[9]
