Looking back to his low period, Tomlin recalled the start of last season when he was out of favour at promoted Cardiff but unable to secure a move.

He said: “The transfer window had shut, the loan window had shut, I couldn't go anywhere. I found it difficult to find purpose.

“Everything that had happened in previous years, I had probably not dealt with properly and it just exploded.

“As you get older you mature and think more and I started focusing on worst case scenarios. For example after football, what do you do then? And life in general, over-thinking everything took its toll on me.

“You always have bad days in football but to think the sort of things I was thinking at the time, it was obviously a lot deeper than that than your average bad day.

“I was sitting in bed at 2am, 3am with the worst thoughts … about hanging myself, slitting my wrists, sitting there crying. I'd have the tablets in my hand.“
