Nathan Thomas (born 27 September 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger.

Playing career[]

Sunderland[]

Thomas served as an apprentice at Sunderland after leaving Newcastle United in 2011,[2] and played in December 2012 one month on loan for Darlington 1883.[3] After his loan return from Darlington, he played until May 2013 and then left Sunderland after refusing a new contract.

Plymouth Argyle[]

He was signed by Plymouth Argyle until the end of the 2013–14 season by manager John Sheridan in December 2013.[4] He made his debut in the Football League on 29 December, replacing Lewis Alessandra 81 minutes into a 1–1 draw with AFC Wimbledon at Kingsmeadow.[5] He scored his first competitive goal for Plymouth Argyle in a 2–0 victory against Hartlepool United in League Two on 20 September 2014.

Motherwell[]

On 2 February 2015, Thomas signed for Scottish Premiership club Motherwell.[6]

Hartlepool United[]

On 12 January 2016, Thomas signed for League Two club Hartlepool United from Mansfield Town.[7]

Sheffield United[]

On 15 May 2017, Thomas joined Championship side Sheffield United on a three-year deal.[8] He scored his first goal for Sheffield United on his debut in a 3–2 EFL Cup win against Walsall on 9 August 2017.[9]

He was transfer-listed by Sheffield United at the end of the 2017–18 season.[10] On 3 July 2018, he signed for EFL League Two side Notts County on a season-long loan.[11]

Thomas then cancelled his loan at Notts by mutual consent on 29 January, before later signing on loan with Carlisle United until the end of the 2018–19 season.

Prior to the 2019–20 season, Thomas signed a season-long loan with Gillingham,[12] however the loan was terminated during pre-season, reportedly because Thomas and his family could not settle in the south.[13] Instead he began a second loan spell with Carlisle United.[14]

On 6 November 2020, Thomas signed for Scottish Premiership side Hamilton Academical.[15] On 19 May 2021 it was announced that he would leave Hamilton at the end of the season, following the expiry of his contract.[16]
