Thomas spent two years at Boreham Wood, helping them to avoid relegation. Following this he turned professional, signing with Crystal Palace for a small fee. During his first season at Palace, Thomas moved to Conference National side Grays Athletic on loan, and scored the equaliser in the 1–1 home draw against Weymouth. In February 2009, Thomas moved to Rotherham United on a one-month loan deal. The following season began with a loan spell back in the Conference, this time at Ebbsfleet United, where he scored a late winner at Eastbourne Borough.

On 16 October 2009, he joined Darlington on a three-month loan deal,[3] making his debut on 17 October and scoring a goal in a 2–1 home win against Shrewsbury Town.[4] He was released from Crystal Palace in early January 2010,[5] and signed for Isthmian League Premier Division club Billericay Town on 21 January.[6] On 3 February 2010, Thomas played for Colchester United Reserves in a game which he scored two goals in a 5–1 win against Southend United Reserves.

Thomas rejoined Grays Athletic in the Isthmian League Division One North at the start of the 2010–11 season. He made 35 appearances scoring 12 goals for Grays, before being released on 8 April 2011.[7] He went on to join Chesham United in July 2011, ahead of the 2011–12 season and scored 43 goals in 92 matches for the Generals [8] before moving to Canvey Island ahead of the 2013–14 season.[8]
