Thomas Jack Stagg (born 9 September 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre forward for National League South club Weymouth.

Stagg joined the Colchester United Academy at under-8 level from Kelvedon Hatch. His scholarship with Colchester started in 2019 where he would make his professional debut in 2021. He has had loan spells at Maldon & Tiptree, Witham Town, East Thurrock United, Billericay Town and Hashtag United.

Career

Born in Harlow,[2] Stagg signed for the Colchester United Academy at under-8 level, joining from local side Kelvedon Hatch.[3] He was sent out on loan to Maldon & Tiptree in both the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons,[4] and at Witham Town splitting the two stints with the Jammers.[5] He then went on a month loan to East Thurrock United, where he played five games.[6] After this he was sent out on another month loan, this time to National League South side Billericay Town.[7] 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.

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.[8] [9]

Stagg was released by Colchester United at the end of the 2021-22 season.[10]

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.[11] [12]

Following a short spell with Billericay Town,[13] in October 2022, the signing of Stagg was confirmed by Isthmian League Premier Division club Cray Wanderers.[14] He had made his debut for the club a few days prior on 27 September, in a Kent Senior Cup game against Sheppey United.[15] He returned for a third spell at Billericay in February 2023,[16] before joining Grays Athletic the following month.[17]

In May 2023, he signed for National League South club Weymouth.[18]
