Club career

Motherwell

Thomas was a product of Celtic's academy until 2010 and then transferred to the Fir Park club.[1]

On 20 December 2014, Thomas made his debut for Motherwell as a substitute in a narrow away win versus St Mirren.[2] Thomas signed a new contract with the Steelmen on 6 March 2015 to keep him at the club until 2018.[3]

At the end of the 2014–15 season, Thomas was named as Motherwell's Player of the Year by the club's fan Podcast ByTheMinMFC.[4]

Although by now established in the senior squad, at the end of the 2015–16 season Thomas returned to the Motherwell Development team to help them win the Scottish Youth Cup for the first time.[5]

Queen of the South (first loan spell)

On 1 January 2017, Thomas was loaned to Queen of the South for the second half of the 2016–17 season.[6][7] Thomas debuted for the club on 7 January 2017, in a 3–0 away win at St Mirren.[8] The following weekend, Thomas scored his first and the Doonhamers' third goal in a 3–3 draw versus Dundee United at Tannadice.[9] Thomas returned his parent club Motherwell at the end of the season.[10]

Kilmarnock

Thomas requested a transfer from Motherwell during summer of 2017. He was duly released by the Lanarkshire club and signed a three-year contract with Kilmarnock on 12 July 2017.[11]

Queen of the South (second loan spell)

On 30 January 2018, Thomas returned to Palmerston Park until the end of the 2017-18 season, joining the Doonhamers for a second loan spell.[12]

Dumbarton (loan spell)

Thomas joined Scottish League One side Dumbarton on loan in September 2018[13], scoring on his debut in a defeat against Stranraer.[14]

International career

In March 2017, Thomas played in his first match for the Scotland Under-21 side in a friendly against Estonia.[15][16]

Personal life

Thomas attended Trinity High School (Rutherglen)[17] and was in the same year group as fellow Celtic youth team player and future Kilmarnock teammate Stuart Findlay.[18]

In 2017 he began operating a youth football training programme based at the sports centre attached to his former school.[17]
