O-lineman journeyman Tomas Middleton signs with the Paris Lights

The Paris Lights continue to strengthen their offensive line, signing Panamanian lineman Tomas Middleton ahead of the 2026 season. Middleton joins Spanish homegrown Celestin Ngimbi in what is shaping up to be a solid and experienced unit up front.

A true journeyman of European football

Middleton has earned the journeyman label through years of reliable service across multiple leagues and countries. He has played in Mexico, Germany, Hungary and Spain, proving himself as a dependable and consistent presence on the offensive line wherever he has gone. That kind of adaptability and experience across different systems and environments is exactly what a first-year franchise needs on its roster.

A champion in Mexico

Among the highlights of Middleton’s career is a championship title with the Mexico City Reds in the LFA, giving him the winning pedigree that the Paris Lights are looking to bring into their locker room as they prepare for their debut season.

With Middleton on board, the Paris Lights are building an offensive line with real depth and international experience ahead of the 2026 season.
