Chorley manager Andy Preece had this to say regarding Tomlinson's departure, "Tommo is a great character and an excellent footballer. Unfortunately for Tommo, the form of Joe Nolan coupled with missing some of pre-season has meant that opportunities have been restricted for him.

However, I feel that now is the right time for me to move on and I look forward to the next challenge at Radcliffe Borough.”
