I've seen him play twice, both in 2011/12. He was a part of the Peterborough side that beat City 4-3 in an extraordinary midweek match at London Road and was a substitute in the Posh team that were beaten 3-1 in the return game.
Of the club's seven summer signings, I think I'm right in saying that Tomlin is the one who was playing for the team that finished highest in the Football League pyramid last season:
Tomlin - Bristol City - 17th in the Championship
Camp - Rotherham United - 24th in the Championship
Ward - Rotherham United - 24th in the Championship
Mendez-Laing - Rochdale - 9th in League One
Etheridge - Walsall - 14th in League One
Paterson - Hearts - 5th in the Scottish Premiership
Damour - Bourg-Peronnas - 15th in the French Ligue 2
When Malky took over in the summer of 2011, we were left with a shell of a team with loan players returning and others being sold. Our transfer record that summer wasn't all that different:
Craig Conway - Dundee Utd - 4th SPL
Don Cowie - Watford - 14th Championship
Aron Gunnarsson - Coventry - 18th Championship
Andrew Taylor - Middlesbro - 12th Championship
Joe Mason - Plymouth - 23rd League One
Robert Earnshaw - Nottm Forest - 6th Championship
Kenny Miller - Bursaspor - 3rd Turkish Super Lig
Rudy Gestede - Metz - 17th French Ligue 2
Ben Turner - Coventry - 18th Championship
That didn't turn out too badly!
