Club career

Coventry City

Thomas joined the Coventry City Academy after being spotted playing for local side Christ The King FC. He made his professional debut as a substitute on 8 January 2011 in a 2–1 FA Cup win over Crystal Palace, coming on to replace Gary McSheffrey after 72 minutes[2] and made his full debut for the club on 25 January, again during an FA Cup tie, against Birmingham City.

He joined Premier League club Liverpool initially on loan on 31 January 2011, with a view to a permanent move[3] but after playing and training with Liverpool's reserves and training with the first team on seven occasions he returned to Coventry after a hamstring injury and the mutual decision to end the loan.[4]

International career

Thomas is an England Under 17 international. He played in the final of the 2009 Nordic Tournament and was awarded a winner's medal following the side's victory over Scotland.[5] In November 2010 he was placed on standby for the England Under 18 squad but was not eventually called up.
