City have secured the future of Tom Bayliss until the summer of 2028.
Building on a promising debut campaign with the Imps, with seven League One goal involvements, the midfielder has committed himself to the club for a further three seasons.
He joined the club in June 2024 and became a regular in Michael Skubala’s side throughout the campaign, making 39 appearances across all competitions.
Head coach Michael Skubala said: “Tom has great quality and is a huge part of what we are trying to achieve. He can play in all three central midfield roles, has the ability to score and create goals, as well as his set play deliveries which have been crucial in maximising our attacking threat.
“At 26 years old and in his prime, we still believe there is more to come from Tom, and we are delighted that he has committed potentially his best years of his career to Lincoln City.”
Bayliss began his career at Coventry City, coming through the youth ranks before making his senior debut in 2017. He played a pivotal role in Coventry’s promotion from League Two during the 2017–18 season, scoring six goals in the process. His performances earned him a move to Championship side Preston North End in 2019, but he struggled for regular football, making just 12 appearances across three years.
A loan spell at Wigan Athletic followed before he joined Shrewsbury Town, where he featured regularly and scored nine goals over two seasons. After a solid first year at Lincoln, his decision to extend his stay is a significant boost for the club as we look to push up the League One table.
Tom had a strong start to his Imps career, but an injury caused him to miss most of October, November and some of December. When he did return, he once again became a key figure in the Imps’ midfield.
