About Tom Lawrence
Thomas Morris Lawrence (/ˈlɔ(ː)ɹəns/; born 13 January 1994) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for A-League Men club Perth Glory. Born in Wrexham, he joined Manchester United at the age of eight and made his way up through the age groups, but he was unable to make it as a first-team regular and spent time on loan at Carlisle United and Yeovil Town before joining Leicester City in September 2014. After three years with Leicester, during which time he was loaned out to Rotherham United, Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City and Ipswich Town, he left for Derby County in August 2017 and joined Rangers in 2022, where he played until 2025. He has represented Wales at senior international level, having also played for the national under-17, under-19 and under-21 sides. Lawrence began the 2011–12 season in good form, scoring four goals in his first four matches before suffering an injury in the fifth, a 3–1 home defeat to Manchester City. Will Keane's return to fitness meant Lawrence's opportunities continued to be limited going into the 2013–14 season, although he did manage to appear in seven of the team's first eight matches of the season. Lawrence scored his first goal for Ipswich in a 2–1 win at Sheffield Wednesday on 5 November 2016. Towards the end of the season, he also got his first experience of the reserve team, being named as an unused substitute for the final game of the Premier Reserve League season, a 2–2 draw with Liverpool.
