Tom Lockyer prepares to return to football: contract details.

Tom Lockyer is back on the field

According to The Sun: Tom Lockyer is already training with 'Bristol Rovers' and may soon return to the club where his professional career began, six years after leaving the Memorial Stadium.

The 30-year-old defender from Wales has not played since he suffered a cardiac arrest during the 'Luton Town' game against 'Bournemouth' on December 16, 2023.

This is not the first time Lockyer has lost consciousness on the field: Previously, seven months ago, it happened during the playoff final against 'Coventry City' at Wembley.

Lockyer's recovery delayed due to the need for two ankle surgeries over the past year.

Rumors are now circulating about a possible contract signing with 'Rovers', as he has returned to training.

Lockyer gained popularity in northern Bristol over seven years from 2012 to 2019, helping the team ascend the ladder of English football.

Now, after serious health issues that nearly cost him his life, he is determined to get back on the field.

According to BristolLive, Lockyer is currently training under Darrell Clarke.

Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but the chances of signing a contract with the League Two club are quite high.

'Rovers' have yet to reach an agreement with the defender.

Signing an experienced defender like Lockyer could be a powerful reinforcement for the team in their future plans.

A move to 'Rovers' would open a new chapter in Lockyer's career, as returning to a familiar environment will give him the chance to realize his potential, despite being in the final stretch of his career at only thirty years old.
