Theo Jack Widdrington (born 6 April 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays for club Aldershot Town as a midfielder.
Born in Southampton, Widdrington is the son of Tommy Widdrington. He is the brother of professional dancer Kai Widdrington.[2]
Widdrington began his career with Portsmouth, turning professional in 2017. He was released in April 2018 after 13 years with the club,[3] [4] having spent time earlier that season on loan at Havant & Waterlooville.
He signed for Bristol Rovers in July 2018.[5]
He made his debut on 13 November 2018 in the EFL Trophy, one of four Bristol Rovers players (alongside Tareiq Holmes-Dennis, Zain Walker and Connor Jones) to do so in that match.[6] On 21 December 2018 he moved on loan to Bognor Regis Town for one month.[7] [8] On 8 February 2019, he was loaned out to the same club once again, also for one month this time.[9] On 11 March it was announced, that the loan deal had been extended for the rest of the season.[10] On 13 April, Widdrington broke his wrist and missed the rest of the season.[11]
In September 2019 he moved on loan to Welling United,[12] and to Hemel Hempstead Town in March 2020.[13]
He was released by Bristol Rovers at the end of the 2019–20 season.[14]
On 31 August 2020 he signed for Lewes.[15] [16] He then moved to former club Havant & Waterlooville two weeks later.[17] [18]
He moved on loan to Gosport Borough in September 2021.[19] He scored two goals in a match later that month.[20]
On 23 December 2021, Widdrington joined King's Lynn Town on loan until the end of January, the club managed by his father.[21] [22] The loan was made permanent in early 2022.[23] His first goal for the club came when he scored the only goal as Lynn defeated high-flying Bromley to keep their survival hopes alive.[24] On 30 June 2022, Widdrington signed a one-year contract extension with the club following their relegation to the National League North.[25]
In June 2023 he signed for Aldershot Town, joining his father Tommy at the club.[26] [27]
