[edit] Career
Born in Penzance, Tonkin began his career at Yeovil Town in 1999; he made 95 appearances and scored one goal in three years at the club. In 2002 he moved to Stockport County, where he spent a year before being transferred to Crewe Alexandra in August 2003 for a reported fee of £150,000. After more than 90 appearances in under three years, he was released and subsequently returned to Yeovil.
On 2 March 2007, he joined Grays Athletic on loan for the remainder of the season.[1] He was released by Yeovil upon his return in May 2007. Two months later, he signed for Conference National club Forest Green Rovers, reportedly turning down Football League clubs in order to stay in the Southwest.[2][3] He made 38 league appearances as the club finished in their highest-ever league placing, but was released at the end of the season.[4]
Tonkin joined Cambridge United on 1 July 2008.[5] In January 2010, Tonkin joined Oxford United for an undisclosed fee.[6]
