Former Bristol City maverick Lee Tomlin has announced his retirement from football aged 33 after spending the last few months playing through pain.
Technically brilliant and known for producing a moment of magic out of nowhere, Tomlin's career spanned 17 years and over 600 games before deciding to hang up his boots following a short spell with Doncaster Rovers.
He joined BS3 on loan from Bournemouth in 2016 for the second half of the season and dazzled with an array of tricks and flicks that got supporters off their seats. He scored six goals in 18 appearances to earn a permanent move in the following summer after signing a three-year contract to become the club's top earner.
