Thomas Aston (born 1876; date of death unknown) was a footballer who played four games in the English Football League for Burslem Port Vale at the start of the 1900–01 season.

Career

Aston played for Ironbridge before joining Burslem Port Vale in May 1900. He made his debut on 1 September, in a 2–2 draw with Small Heath at Athletic Ground. He scored his first goal in the English Football League 14 days later in a 2–0 win over Lincoln City. He played a total of four Second Division games, but within a few weeks he realized that his work commitments made getting to matches difficult and so he left the club before the month was out.
