Woking (loan spells)[]

On 31 August 2015, Thomas joined National League side Woking on a one-month youth loan deal,[5] making his professional debut the same day in Woking's 2–0 home victory against Welling United, playing the full 90 minutes.[6] After impressing at Woking, Thomas' loan spell was extended until 2 January 2016.[7] However, with Woking, struggling through October and November, Thomas was dropped and played just one further game before returning to Charlton in January.[3]

On 20 October 2016, Thomas returned to Woking on a one-month loan to help the Cards in their relegation battle.[8] Two days later, Thomas made his return in Woking's 1–1 home draw with high-flying Barrow, playing for 70 minutes before being replaced by Fabio Saraiva.[9] On 21 January 2017, after stabilising the Woking defence, his loan spell was extended until the end of the 2016–17 season.[10] On 14 February, Thomas scored his first professional goal in Woking's 2–1 home victory over Solihull Moors, heading in from a corner to give the Cards a 1–0 lead.[11] On 25 February 2017, Thomas scored his second goal of the season in a 4–3 away defeat against Forest Green Rovers, netting a consolation in the 94th minute.[12] Following a successful relegation fight, Thomas returned to Charlton after featuring 33 times and scoring three goals for the Cards.[3]

Following an impressive loan spell at Sutton, Wigan triggered a one-year option in Thomas's current deal, extending his contract until June 2019.[21]

During July 2021, it was confirmed by manager, Mark Robinson that Thomas would leave the club at the end of his contract, following interest from Championship and fellow League One clubs.[26]
