Tom Lang, born on 12th January 1997, hails from England and operates primarily as a central defender for Falkirk. Standing proud at 6ft (1.85m) and tipping the scales at a sturdy 12st 8lb (80kg), he's a commanding presence at the heart of defence. He proudly wears the number 4 jersey.
Lang's contract with Falkirk is due to expire on 31st May 2025, with a brief eight months remaining at the time of writing.
Lang's football journey took him to Dumbarton in January 2017, where he was inaugurated into Scotland's League One. Despite a limited debut season, consisting of six first team appearances, the young defender forged a pathway that teed up an intriguing career in Scotland's lower leagues.
The summer of 2017 saw Lang transfer to Stranraer, where he registered a modest tally of three league appearances during the 2017-2018 season. However, Lang's stint at Stranraer was short and sweet, as he quickly secured a move to Clyde in January 2018.
At Clyde, Lang began to find his footing, making four first team appearances in his debut half-season at the club. His performances evidently did not go unnoticed, for in July 2019, he secured a move to Dunfermline Athletic.
The rolling hills of Scotland's football landscape saw Lang return to Clyde for a loan spell in January 2020, adding to his tally another four first team appearances. A few months later, in October 2020, he moved to Clyde permanently. His tally remained consistent, as he registered another further four appearances throughout the 2017-2018 season.
The 2021 season brought another chapter in Lang's football story, as he moved to Raith Rovers. Here, his contributions were more pronounced, featuring 14 times and notching his name on the scoresheet once in the league during the 2022-2023 season.
Falkirk is currently the latest destination on Lang's footballing map, having joined the club in July 2023. Though he has yet to make a first-team appearance in the current 2024-2025 season, he has already participated in the prestigious Scottish Cup 2023-2024, making at least one start for Falkirk.
