TUAFC are pleased to announce that Mark Halstead, Tom Lapslie, Kevin Dawson and Ollie Tomlinson have agreed new deals to remain with the Club.
Halstead, Lapslie and Dawson all played starring roles in The Gulls’ impressive late run, with the latter turning his loan from Gloucester City into a permanent one for 2023/24. Tomlinson, meanwhile, enjoyed his own late-season surge, making 15 appearances and scoring one goal during a loan spell with National League South side Chippenham Town.
The announcement that the popular back four will be staying at Plainmoor next term will no doubt be a huge boost for the Yellow Army, and United manager Gary Johnson was also understandably delighted by the news.
“I am very excited that Mark Halstead, Tom Lapslie, Kevin Dawson and Ollie Tomlinson have all agreed new deals.
“Mark Halstead had a fantastic season last season and is one of the best goalkeepers in the National League. I’m sure everyone will be delighted to have Tom Lapslie back with us for the next campaign. His energy and passion for this club of football is unmatched.
“It’s also great news that Kevin Dawson will be with us for the next campaign. Kevin joined us late, but everyone saw his influence in the last quarter of the season, and I know for sure that he will be ready and willing to give everything for our Football Club. I am also pleased to announce that Ollie Tomlinson, who was loaned to Chippenham at the bottom of the National League South, has agreed a new deal. Ollie proved to be very capable of playing in the National League loaned to Chippenham, to show his undoubted potential.”
Johnson went on to pay tribute to the Club for backing his plans to retain the services of the core group of players who finished 2022/23 so strongly.
“Credit to our football club, for achieving our ambition to keep the majority of the squad that did so well towards the end of the season.”
