Anthony Tonkin (born 17 January 1980 in Cornwall) is an English professional footballer. He is a defender and is currently without a club after leaving Forest Green Rovers.
Tonkin began his career at Yeovil Town in 1999 making 95 appearances and scoring one goal in three years at the club. In 2002 he moved to Stockport County. He spent a year at Stockport, until August 2003 when he was transferred to Crewe Alexandra 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 club Forest Green, reportedly turning down Football League clubs in order to stay in the South-West.[2] He made 38 league appearances as the club finished in their highest ever league placing, but was released at the end of the season.[3]
