Widnes-born Tom had trials with Liverpool Football Club before he turned his ambitions to rugby league and represented England at both Under-15 and Under-16 levels, winning the Player of the Tournament award in the Under-16 European Cup in 2009. Called up to the England Academy squad in 2011 subsequent knee ligament damage brought an early end to his season and delayed the senior debut that finally came from the bench against London Broncos in 2012 when ‘Gilly’ achieved his ambition of playing for Widnes in Super League. Further experience came including loan spells with North Wales Crusaders and the Broncos. Tom returned to Widnes in 2023 after two highly successful years with Batley – a period he describes as his career highlight while his ambition is to help to get Widnes in contention at the top of the table. In a successful 2024 Tom made his 100th appearance for the Vikings, claiming his 150th goal and 450th point for the club while also passing 350 goals and 850 points during his career. Away from rugby Tom, a keen golfer and Liverpool FC supporter, runs his own Coffee Shop.
