Timothy Eric Alfred Sandercombe[1] (born 15 June 1989) is an English football goalkeeper.

Career

Born in Enfield, London, Sandercombe joined Notts County following his release from Plymouth Argyle. He joined on 1 July 2007 along with Paul Mayo, Adam Tann, and Hector Sam.[2] Sandercombe made his professional debut for County in a Football League Trophy game against Leyton Orient on 3 September 2007. County lost the game 1–0 to an Efe Echanomi goal.[3] Only 22 days after that appearance, Sandercombe put pen to paper on a new contract at Meadow Lane.[4]

On 14 August 2008, Sandercombe had his contract cancelled with Notts County by mutual consent.[5] After a spell in the Conference North with Stafford Rangers, he joined Mansfield Town on a one-year contract on 27 May 2009.[6]

In February 2010, Sandercombe signed for Conference South club Weymouth until the end of the season and in March 2010 he started training with Exeter City at their Cat & Fiddle training base just so he can keep his fitness levels up between Weymouth matches and the possibility of being used as cover for the Exeter City reserves on a non contract basis.[citation needed]

He signed a one-year deal for Conference North club Worcester City in July 2010.[7]

In July 2011 Sandercombe signed for newly promoted Truro City as a replacement for Martin Rice who returned to Torquay United. After a season and a half, he was injured during a league match against A.F.C. Hornchurch and Truro brought in Luke McCormick as a replacement. Truro were in administration and McCormick was playing for free, and Sandercombe subsequently left the club the following week, on 16 November 2012.

Sandercombe joined Bideford in January 2013[8] and made his debut against Banbury United on Saturday 12 January 2013.

After his football career ended, he became a school teacher and taught in multiple British primary schools around Devon.
