Lincoln City have announced that centre-back Tom Hamer has signed a new deal with the club keeping him with Michael Skubala’s side until at least the summer of 2029.
Hamer has been a key part of the Imps rise recently since joining from Burton Albion and has been an integral part of their promotion push this season, as the club look to reach the Championship for the first time since the 1960’s.
The 26-year-old has utilised his long throw as a weapon that Lincoln City can use and his defensive partnership with Sonny Bradley has matured this season too.
Sporting director Jez George said: “This is a no-brainer for us. Tom is coming into the prime years of his career; he has performed at a consistently high level all season and his long throw also provides us with an important attacking threat within our game model.
“Tom also fits our profile of what we look for in a ‘Lincoln City player’. He is understated, committed, aggressive and effective and we feel that he can easily be overlooked, underrated and undervalued outside our club but certainly not by our staff, players and fans. He has been a massive part of what we have achieved so far this season and Tom has a massive role to play in what we hope to achieve in the future.”
Tom Hamer said: “I’m really happy to have got everything sorted, as soon as I heard about the possibility of extending my time here, I knew it was something I wanted to do.
“The staff, players and supporters make this a great club to be at and I’m really pleased to have committed my future here long-term.”
On the eve of the massive clash with leaders Cardiff City on Saturday, this is excellent news for Lincoln City and the fans.
