Thomas Michael Aldred (born 11 September 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Indian Super League club Mohun Bagan.

[6] In August 2009, Aldred joined Workington on an initial month-long loan[7] and earned rave reviews from the Conference North side's manager, Darren Edmondson, during a stay that was extended to the maximum three months following some excellent displays in the Cumbrian side's defence.

[8] He went on to make his first team debut for Carlisle as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win over Wycombe Wanderers on 12 December 2009.

[11] Aldred joined Championship club Watford on a two-year deal on 1 July 2010, with a compensation offer made to Carlisle.

[15] On 21 June 2011, Aldred joined Scottish Premier League club Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a six-month loan deal.

That was great at the time, but realistically, looking back now, I moved too soon and then as a knock-on effect, I kind of struggled to settle for like the next two years.

"[20] Colchester United manager John Ward signed Aldred on a two-year deal following his Watford release on 1 September 2011.

[21] Two months later, he was loaned to Torquay United from 24 November to 2 January as injury cover, although he failed to make an appearance for the Gulls.

[39] In October 2023, Aldred said he announced his intentions to apply for an Australian citizenship, having settled in the country for four years.
