Thomas Alun Lockyer (born 3 December 1994) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a defender for League One club Bristol Rovers.
Lockyer was born and raised in Cardiff, Glamorgan. He joined Cardiff City as a youth aged 11, but was released aged 16, as Cardiff deemed him to be too small to play his preferred position of centre-back. Lockyer then signed a scholarship for Bristol Rovers in 2011 and went on to make his debut on 12 January 2013, replacing Ellis Harrison, 85 minutes into a 3–0 win over Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium. He made his home debut 2 months later on 12 March 2013, replacing Oliver Norburn in the 74th minute in a 2–0 win over Port Vale. He signed his first professional contract in May 2013, after making his previous appearances whilst still a youth team player.
Lockyer scored his first league goal in a 1–0 win for Bristol Rovers over Northampton Town on 31 August 2013.
On 17 March 2014, Lockyer signed a new two-year contract extension with Rovers. After Rovers were relegated out of League Two in the 13/14 season, Lockyer became a very important part of a very successful season after seeing the club get promoted first time of asking. In that season he managed to score one goal vs Grimsby Town F.C.. As Rovers returned to League Two, he was a first team regular and was rewarded Football League Young Player of the Month after consistent good performances.
In October 2015, Lockyer made his Wales under-21 debut in a 0–0 draw against Denmark.
