Thomas Jack Stagg (born 9 September 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre forward for Southern League Premier Division Central club Bury Town.[3]
Stagg joined the Colchester United Academy at under-8 level from Kelvedon Hatch. His scholarship with Colchester United started in 2019, and he would make his professional debut in 2021. During his time with Colchester, he had loan spells at Maldon & Tiptree, Witham Town, East Thurrock United, Billericay Town and Hashtag United.
Born in Harlow,[2] Stagg signed for the Colchester United Academy at under-8 level, joining from local side Kelvedon Hatch.[4] He was sent out on loan to Maldon & Tiptree in both the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons,[5] and at Witham Town splitting the two stints with the Jammers.[6] He then went on a month loan to East Thurrock United, where he played five games.[7] After this he was sent out on another month loan, this time to National League South side Billericay Town.[8] Close to the end of the 2021–22 season, Stagg was sent out on loan to Hashtag United, where he featured three times in the league, scoring an 88th-minute equaliser after coming off the bench on his debut against Great Wakering Rovers.[9]
Stagg made his professional debut for Colchester in League Two on 8 May 2021. He was named on the first team substitutes bench for the first time in his career. He was then brought on for Frank Nouble in the 84th-minute of Colchester's 0–0 draw with Tranmere Rovers in the final game of the 2020–21 season.[10][11]
Stagg was released by Colchester United at the end of the 2021–22 season.[12]
On 1 May 2022 he went on trial with Sunderland, and featured in their Premier League 2 Division 2 game against Southampton, where he was subbed off after 67 minutes, and nothing further came from it.[13][14]
Following a short spell with Billericay Town,[15] in October 2022, the signing of Stagg was confirmed by Isthmian League Premier Division club Cray Wanderers.[16] He had made his debut for the club a few days prior on 27 September, in a Kent Senior Cup game against Sheppey United.[17] He returned for a third spell at Billericay in February 2023,[18] before joining Grays Athletic the following month.[19]
In May 2023, he signed for National League South club Weymouth.[20]
