Aston Villa youngster Tom Poston played for Norwich City's Under 19 Academy side in a friendly clash with Peterborough on 9th January 1999. Norwich won 4-0 and Poston impressed on the left-wing. Tom has since materialized at Kidderminster Harriers where he is a regular in their Reserves team. In April 2001, Tom was playing for Moor Green of the Dr Martens League - whether this was a permanent move or not is currently unclear. In March 2002, it was reported that Poston had signed for Worcester City from Hednesford Town. However Worcester released him two months later.

In January 2002, he played for Luton Reserves against Brentford Reserves. Two months later, he trialled for Queen of the South but by December 2002, was playing for lowly Alvechurch. He is believed to have trialled alongside Louis Blois for the Toronto Lynx in January 2004.
