He captained the U-18s in his second year scholar. On 21 April, Thomas was named on the bench for first team against Rochdale but was an unused substitute.[3] Rovers lost the game 2-1, which contributed towards their eventual relegation from the Football League - the first time since their acceptance in 1920.

On the 26th of July 2017, Thomas returned to the first team squad for the first time in 22 months in a pre-season friendly against Bath City.[8]
