Early life

[edit]

A native of Brampton, Ontario, Thomas began playing soccer with Brampton Youth SC before later joining Brampton East SC.[1] At age 15, he joined the Sigma FC youth program.[1]

College career

[edit]

In 2014, Thomas attended Cloud County Community College, playing for the men's soccer team, where he recorded two goals and five assists in 19 appearances.[2]

In 2016, he attended Broward College, recording eight goals and four assists in six appearances,[2] earning second team all-star honours.[3]

In 2017, he was set to transfer to California State University, Fullerton to play for the Cal State Fullerton Titans,[4] but did not eventually join.

In 2022, he began attending Humber College, where he will play for the men's soccer team.[5][6] On September 17, 2022, he scored his first goal for Humber against St. Clair College.[7] On October 5, he scored a hat-trick against the Conestoga Condors.[8] He finished second on the team with nine goals in 2022, being named an OCAA First Team All-Star.[9]

Club career

[edit]

He made his senior debut with Sigma FC in League1 Ontario in 2014.[1][10] In 2017, Thomas scored a career-high seventeen goals in eighteen appearances, tied for second among league top scorers, and was subsequently named to the league First All-Star Team.[11][12] In 2018, Thomas made fourteen league appearances, scoring four goals and added another four goals in three playoff appearances.[13] He was subsequently named to the league First All-Star Team for the second year in a row.[14]
