The list of interested parties for American defender Jonathan Tomkinson has grown once again.
EFL League One clubs Cardiff City and Port Vale, as well as League Two side Notts County are all interested in him, sources close to the player confirmed to SBI. Tomkinson remains a free agent this summer after his Norwich City contract expired in June.
Fellow EFL clubs Portsmouth, Reading, Stockport County, and Rotherham United have previously expressed interest in signing Tomkinson this summer, sources confirmed to SBI earlier in the summer transfer window.
The Texas native spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Scottish club Ross County. Tomkinson made 13 Premiership appearances for Ross County but did not feature in the club’s two legged promotion-relegation series with Livingston.
Livingston’s 5-3 aggregate win condemned Ross County to the Scottish second-tier for next season and ultimately ended Tomkinson’s time in Scotland. Ross County previously was interested in potentially signing Tomkinson outright from Norwich City, but the club’s relegation hurt the chances of that move potentially happening.
Tomkinson made three first-team appearances for Norwich City during this time at Carrow Road, while also spending time at lower-league clubs Stevenage and Bradford City on loan.
A former U.S. youth national team defender, Tomkinson is pushing to make his senior national team debut. He previously featured for the Under-23’s, Under-20’s, and Under-17’s.
Cardiff City suffered relegation to League One while Port Vale earned promotion to League One are finishing second in League Two last spring. Notts County finished sixth in League Two but missed out on promotion.
