Tom Pett
Thomas George Pett (born 3 December 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Oldham Athletic.
Pett began his senior career at hometown club Potters Bar Town, establishing himself in the first team during the 2009–10 season after progressing through the youth system. He signed for Wealdstone in January 2012 and was part of the team that won the Isthmian Premier Division in the 2013–14 season. In June 2014, Pett joined Stevenage, making 159 appearances across three and a half years before moving to fellow League Two club Lincoln City in January 2018. He helped Lincoln win the League Two title in the 2018–19 season and departed the club in May 2020.
After returning to Stevenage in November 2020, Pett signed for Port Vale in July 2021. He was a regular in the team that won promotion to League One via the play-offs in 2022. Pett left Port Vale in June 2023 and signed for Cheltenham Town five months later. He joined Oldham Athletic on loan in January 2025, making the move permanent in June 2025 after the club won the 2025 National League play-offs. He has also been capped at England C level.
Pett began his career at Boreham Wood under the club's PASE youth system, spending two months at academy level before moving to play in the youth system of his hometown club, Potters Bar Town. He broke into the first team and established himself as a regular in the starting line-up at Potters Bar during the 2009–10 season, later captaining the team. He was described as "one of the standout performers" over the subsequent two seasons.
Pett was offered the opportunity to join Wealdstone, who played a division above Potters Bar in the Isthmian League Premier Division, midway through the 2011–12 season. He accepted the offer and signed a permanent deal on 25 January 2012. During his final season with the club, Pett scored 18 times as Wealdstone won the Isthmian Premier Division title, crediting experienced teammates Glen Little and Scott McGleish for their influence. He spent two and a half seasons at the club, scoring 29 goals in 123 appearances in all competitions. Manager Gordon Bartlett stated: "I can honestly say I always knew he would go on to play full-time football and I know he can make it in the professional game". Whilst playing for Wealdstone, Pett represented the England C team and was training to become a PE teacher.
Having spent time on trial with League Two club Stevenage, Pett joined the club for an undisclosed fee on an initial one-year contract on 23 June 2014. He made his debut on the opening day of the 2014–15 season, playing 88 minutes in a 1–0 home victory against Hartlepool United on 9 August 2014. Pett scored his first goal for the club on 6 September 2014, briefly levelling the score in an eventual 3–2 defeat to York City. He started the new year with two goals in three games, taking his goal tally for the season to four. This included a long-range 30 yards (27 m) strike to double Stevenage's lead in a 2–0 away victory at York City on 17 January 2015. Pett scored with a "blistering strike" in a 1–0 home victory over Portsmouth on 14 April 2015, strengthening Stevenage's position in the League Two play-off places. The club went on to face Southend United in the play-off semi-finals, with Pett scoring in the second leg; however, Stevenage were defeated 4–2 on aggregate. He finished his first season in professional football with eight goals in 38 appearances in all competitions.
Pett signed a new two-year contract with the club on 13 July 2015. During the 2015–16 season, he was a first-team regular, deployed in a deeper midfield role under new manager Teddy Sheringham as Stevenage finished the season in 18th place in League Two. Pett made 43 appearances during the season, scoring once. He remained at Stevenage the following season under newly appointed permanent manager Darren Sarll. He made his first appearance of the season as a second-half substitute in Stevenage's 2–1 home win over Luton Town on 20 August 2016, coming on with the team trailing and assisting the winning goal. Thereafter, he was a regular starter in the team, scoring his first goal of the season in the club's 6–1 victory against Hartlepool United on 3 September 2016. He made his 100th appearance for Stevenage in a 2–0 defeat to Blackpool on 10 December 2016. Pett made 44 appearances during the season, scoring six goals. Shortly after the season had concluded, Stevenage announced that Pett had been placed on the transfer list after the two parties failed to reach an agreement over a contract extension, with his existing deal set to expire in the summer of 2018.
Despite being transfer-listed, Pett remained at Stevenage for the start of the 2017–18 season, scoring the club's first goal of the season when he capitalised on a defensive mistake in a 3–3 draw with Newport County on 5 August 2017. Pett scored seven times in 34 appearances during the first half of the season, including his first brace for Stevenage in a 4–1 win against Cheltenham Town on 1 January 2018. During his three and a half years with Stevenage, Pett made 159 appearances and scored 22 goals.
