He’s one of our own!

At the age of 5 Toby Brooks began his football journey with Larkhall Athletic Youth Club, a local dedicated young footballer. After years of hard work, and unwavering commitment to Larkhall Athletic Youth, his moment finally arrived on Friday 18th July in the Pre season friendly against Warminster Town Football Club.

That evening, under the fading summer light at Weymouth Road, Toby reached a milestone that he has dreamed of for more than a decade as a Larkhall Athletic youth player, by pulling on the blue and white kit and stepping out onto the pitch as a member of the Larkhall Athletic first team. With 30 minutes remaining Toby played with composure. His touches were sharp, his vision clear, and his determination evident in every challenge. For Toby, this was more than a debut—it was the realisation of a childhood dream and all the sweeter as the Larks won 3-2.
