Career highlights | |
Paul Thomas (born May 6, 1982) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing in the SANFL with Central District Bulldogs
After spending years on the Adelaide Crows list as a rookie in 2002, Thomas went back to the SANFL where he worked on improving his game, and he won a Magarey Medal in 2004. The Essendon Football Club picked him up in the 2004 AFL Draft.
The 23 year old was given a lifeline in 2005 by the Essendon Bombers, where he performed admirably given limited game time. However, he was delisted at the end of the season, some would say unfairly.
He is currently the captain of Central District Football Club.
He currently works at Trinity College Gawler River school, as a much loved P.E teacher.
