Aged 23, the central defender enhances Lincoln City’s defensive prowess by bringing in his rich experience from his stint at Fratton Park. During his tenure at Portsmouth, he played in 45 matches and netted four goals.
Towler was a key figure in Portsmouth’s triumph in the 2023-24 League One season. In the last season, he participated in 14 matches across various tournaments.
