He has now announced he is hanging up his boots. Tomkins posted to social media: “Thank you to my amazing family for making my career even possible and their continued support over the years.

“Also thank you to all the brilliant coaches and players I have worked with throughout my career.

“I was lucky to play for three clubs, all with amazing fans who make football what it is. I will miss the game, but it’s time to announce my retirement.”

Along with Palace, Tomkins also played for West Ham and Derby County.
