Tom Sparrow arrived in the summer of 2024 in ML1, with many only knowing the 22-year-old from his stint just down the road with Hamilton. Admitting that he was never the best player in his age group at Stoke City in his early years, Sparrow's approach has always been about giving 100% at all times and leaving nothing out on the pitch. That professional mindset has led him from playing National League North football with Chester in 2023/24 to playing with Motherwell in the top flight of Scottish football the following year. Show work ethic and adaptability; Sparrow has been deployed as a wing-back more than his natural central midfield role, something he relishes. Learning every day, he has impressed new manager Michael Wimmer quickly and was handed a new contract lasting until 2028. With his future secure, it's straight back to work for Sparrow, as he has his eyes firmly set on his next target on the international stage.
