PLAYER PROFILE – MASON BLOOMFIELD
Mason Bloomfield started his career with Dagenham & Redbridge back in 2014, before dipping into non-league with the likes of Chelmsford City, Billericay Town, Grays Athletic, Witham Town, Brentwood Town and Aveley. The Westminster-born striker made a return to the Daggers in March 2017, before earning a move to Championship side Norwich City the following summer. During his time in East Anglia, loan spells up and down the country followed at Hamilton Academical, AFC Fylde and then Crawley Town.
Mason became a new recruit for Hartlepool United for the start of the 2020-21 season, where he scored twice in 22 appearances. A move to Barnet materialised at the start of the following 2021-22 campaign, as he found the net three times on 20 occasions before switching to Bromley in February 2022 for an undisclosed fee. Bloomfield scored twice in 13 appearances for the Ravens and is a Wembley winner, having helped Bromley to FA Trophy glory in a 1-0 victory over Wrexham in the final in front of over 46,000 spectators.
The striker secured a move to North East Hampshire in late in December 2022, where he ended the season with 11 goals in 21 appearances. Bloomfield joined Hampton & Richmond Borough for the 2023-24 season, finding the net on ten occasions in 39 games. He returned to Farnborough for his third spell in June 2025.

Torquay United produced an excellent performance on the road on Wednesday evening, as they ran out clear winners at Farnborough. An early brace from Louis Dennis set United on their way before Jordan Dyer added a third in the second half with his first of the campaign. Rakish Bingham’s late penalty couldn’t dampen the travelling Yellow Army’s spirits, as United secured their second away win of the season.
