Gavin Michael Thomas (born 22 October 1977) is a Wales international rugby union flanker, who has been capped more than 20 times for Wales. He plays his club rugby for Newport Gwent Dragons, who he joined in 2009.[1]
He previously played club rugby for Bridgend RFC, Bath Rugby and the Ospreys before joining the Llanelli Scarlets.[2]
Before making the step up to the full national team, Thomas played for Wales' under-18 and under-21 teams. He made his senior international debut for Wales on 10 June 2001 against Japan. He was capped another five times that year. He then played in the 2002 Six Nations, as well as playing Tests against South Africa and Romania. He was capped five times in 2003, including the Six Nations. He played in two Tests against Romania in June 2006. In May 2010 he was added to the Wales national rugby union team standby list for the summer matches and subsequently called into the full squad due to injury to Andy Powell.[3] Thomas returned to the Wales starting lineup against New Zealand in Dunedin on 19 June 2010[4] after a four year absence.
