Matt Bloomer

He was brought up in a youth team that consisted the likes of Jack Lester, John Oster, Danny Butterfield and Daryl Clare, and under the stewardship of long serving manager Alan Buckley.

In 2002, Alan Buckley's Lincoln City, who were facing relegation from Division Three signed Bloomer on a month-long loan.

The following season, Keith Alexander succeeded Alan Buckley as manager, and brought Bloomer in on a permanent deal.

Bloomer was given his chance to start ahead of West for the League Cup first round match against Derby County.

Bloomer moved from right back to central defensive position held by captain Paul Morgan, who was out with an injury, Wycombe scored three goals in the first 45 minutes, all from Nathan Tyson.

During the 2005–06 season, Bloomer found himself on the fringes of the Lincoln squad, and had spells on loan at former club Grimsby Town and Conference side Cambridge United.

Less than two weeks after his release from Boston United, Bloomer agreed to join Harrogate Town,[4] who were managed by his former Lincoln City teammate Simon Weaver.
