Jason Thomas (born 20 January 1997) is a Vanuatuan footballer who plays[1] as a defender for Hekari United.[2] He made his debut for the national team in November 2015 in their 1–1 draw with Fiji.[1]
International career[]
Prior to his 2015 debut against Fiji for the senior national team, Thomas previously featured five times for the U-17 team at the 2013 OFC U-17 Championship where he scored twice, once salvaging a draw in their opening match against Papua New Guinea[3] and once in a 3–1 victory against New Caledonia in their final group match.[4]
He was later called up to the Vanuatu national under-20 football team for the 2014 OFC U-20 Championship, where he played in four matches: a 1–0 victory over New Caledonia,[5] a 0–0 draw with the Solomon Islands in the following group match,[6] a 4–0 victory over American Samoa, where he was named as captain[7] and a 2–2 draw with Fiji.[8]
