Stuart Tomlinson

Stuart Charles Tomlinson (born 22 May 1985) is an English football goalkeeper who plays for League Two side Burton Albion. Though a solid all-round keeper, he is a particularly strong shot-stopper.

He progressed from the Crewe Alexandra youth team to turn professional in 2003. He spent the next six years with the club, spending part of 2004 on loan at Stafford Rangers, and playing once on loan for Burton Albion in 2008. He played just 28 games for Crewe in league and cup competitions, never making more than eleven appearances in any one season. Unable to join Port Vale due to a lack of finance at the club, he instead spent the 2009–10 campaign at Conference club Barrow, where he shared goalkeeping responsibilities with Tim Deasy. He then signed with Port Vale, and was favoured ahead of Chris Martin for the 2010–11 and 2011–12 campaigns, before choosing to leave the club in July 2012. He signed with Burton Albion in September 2012.
