Tom became a Swan in August 2006 for an undisclosed fee from Hartlepool.
The former Sunderland trainee played 36 games for the club - including 19 in the Premiership - before signing for Scottish Premier League side Dunfermline.
The tricky winger, who also had a loan spell at Darlington, joined Hartlepool on a free transfer in March 2005. He has earned two caps for the Republic of Ireland.
He famously scored twice in Swansea's FA Cup win over Premiership side Sheffield United in January 2007 and made 42 league appearances, scoring six times, as the Swans lifted the League One trophy in 2007/08.
