Thomas Edward Pugh (born 27 September 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League North club Hereford, on loan from Scunthorpe United.

Club career

Born in Doncaster,[2] Pugh made his first-team debut for Scunthorpe United as an 86th-minute substitute for Clayton Lewis in a 3–2 defeat at Mansfield Town in the EFL Trophy on 13 November 2018.[3] He made his first appearance at Glanford Park in the same competition on 12 November 2019, coming on as an 89-minute substitute for Matty Lund in a 3–0 win over Sunderland.[4]

In May 2021, Pugh signed a new one-year contract with Scunthorpe.[5]

On 8 February 2022, Pugh picked up a knee injury in a win against Walsall which ruled him out for the rest of the 2021–22 season.[6]

At the end of the 2021–22 season, Pugh was released by Scunthorpe.[7]

On 8 September 2022, Pugh signed for National League North club Scarborough Athletic on a non-contract basis.[8] On 22 September 2022, having featured twice for Scarborough Athletic, Pugh returned to former club Scunthorpe United.[9]

On 7 November 2023, Pugh joined fellow National League North club Hereford on a one-month loan.[10] The loan was extended by a further month on 8 December.[11] After he was due to return to Scunthorpe, it was announced that Pugh would stay at Hereford until the end of the season.[12][13]

International career

Pugh was called up by Rob Page for the Wales under-21 team in May 2019, having been eligible due to his Welsh father.[14] He scored on his debut after coming on as a 60th-minute substitute in what finished as a 2–1 defeat to Albania.[15]
