Toby has been with The Addicks since the age of seven, where he signed for the Academy at Under 9 level after initially only training with the Club.

Boro’s new defender rose through the ranks at The Valley and went on to captain their Under 18s to a third successive Professional Development League 2 South title in 2022/23.

Bower will have caught the eye of Farnborough supporters in the July Pre-Season Friendly with a Charlton Athletic XI, where he struck an impressive opening goal past Boro’s very own Jack Turner.
