Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Ballarat Football League powerhouse Golden Point, Tom Reardon was a diminutive footballer standing just 168cm who made a brief but consistent impact at VFL level. Hailing from the goldfields near Broomfield, Reardon broke into the Fitzroy lineup in Round 3 of the 1911 season and immediately cemented his place in the side, playing 16 consecutive matches without a miss. Despite proving he was up to the standard of metropolitan football, his tenure with the Maroons was limited to a single campaign; he was cleared back to Golden Point at the start of 1912, opting to return to country dominance rather than pursue a long-term VFL career.
