Thomas Geoffrey "Tom" Field (born 14 March 1997) is an English professional football left back who plays for Brentford. He is a product of the club's academy and was capped by the Republic of Ireland at U16 level.

Club career

Brentford

Field began his career in the Brentford academy at age 15.[3] He was a part of the Bees' U15 team which won the Junior category in the 2012 Milk Cup.[4] Field progressed to sign scholarship forms at the end of the 2012–13 season and made 45 appearances and scored two goals for the youth team over the following two seasons.[5][6][7][8] Moving from the wing to left back, he made his Development Squad debut while an U17 and signed a one-year Development Squad contract at the end of the 2014–15 season.[9][10] Field signed a new 18-month deal in November 2015 and made his first team debut with a start in a 3–0 victory over West London rivals Fulham on 30 April 2016,[11] assisting Scott Hogan for one of the goals from a corner, though he was forced off after 53 minutes with a calf injury.[3]

Field was included in the first team group during 2016–17 pre-season and the departure of long-term left back Jake Bidwell meant that he became the only left back available, playing the full 90 minutes in friendlies versus Vfl Bochum and Wycombe Wanderers.[12] He made his first competitive appearance of the season versus Exeter City in the EFL Cup first round on 9 August 2016, playing the full 120 minutes of the extra time defeat.[13]

International career

Field won two caps for the Republic of Ireland U16 team in friendlies versus Estonia in Dublin in November 2012.[14]
