Redditch United footballer and alumnus Thomas “Tom” Rankin passed away on 27 March 2022 at the age of 26.

A talented footballer, Tom played for the Loughborough University Men’s 1st football team on a full-time performance programme while he completed his Undergraduate degree in English and Sports Science.  During Tom’s time in the Loughborough AU, his team won the BUCS Premier League North twice, and he was awarded Player of the Season and Presidents Player of the Season for 2016 and 2017.

Upon graduating in 2017, he was offered a soccer scholarship to complete his MBA at Carson-Newman University in the USA where he graduated in 2018.

After playing for Bromsgrove Sporting for two seasons, Tom joined Redditch United in their 2019/2020 season as a midfielder and was an active player at Redditch for three seasons.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and team at this time.
