Tom Edwards originally came through the youth ranks at Stoke City, and made over 50 senior appearances for The Potters in the Premier League and the Championship, whilst also representing England at U20 level.

The right-back subsequently made a trans-Atlantic loan move in 2020 to the MLS to play for New York Red Bulls.

Tom returned to the UK in 2022 and had further loan spells with Barnsley in League One and, more recently, Huddersfield Town in the Championship. He signed permanently for the Ammies in the summer of 2024 and went on to make 24 appearances for Salford in his first season at Moor Lane.
