12 May 1983 inLudlow ,Shropshire ) is an English born Welsh footballer who currently plays as amidfielder for Macclesfield Town in League Two.Tolley began his career as a trainee with Shrewsbury Town, and made his début for the club on
20 November ,1999 . Aged just 16 years 193 days, he became the youngest player in Shrewsbury's history.Until October 2005 he was a regular in the Wales under-21 team, having made his first appearance aged 18.
By the end of the 2005–06 season Tolley had allowed his contract to expire. After failing to receive the interest he had hoped for, Tolley eventually joined Macclesfield, a week into the 2006–07 season. Although he was out-of-contract, as he was under 24 and spent his development years at Shrewsbury, a transfer fee had to be paid. This was revealed to be a five-figure sum that didn't meet Shrewsbury's valuation, but Tolley was allowed to leave in the best interests of both the club and the player, according to Shrews manager Gary Peters.
