Ex-Bristol City playmaker says money means nothing as he signs deal with League Two club

Former Bristol City playmaker Lee Tomlin admitted he didn't think football could ever make him happy again before signing a one-year contract with Doncaster Rovers.

Tomlin, 33, agreed to a deal with the League Two side after impressing during a trial period throughout the summer. He was looking for a new club after being released from Walsall at the end of last season following a short-term contract.

The midfielder has spoken openly about his mental health battle in the past and earlier this year revealed how he feared slipping back to his "old self." Upon signing for Walsall, he spoke of his ambition to just "enjoy football again" but made just one start and four substitute appearances at the Saddlers after struggling with a groin injury.
