Career
Born in Leamington Spa, Thomas started his career as a trainee at Nottingham Forest and later Leicester City, and made his first team debut against Newcastle United in December 1999.[2] February 2002 saw him move on to Bournemouth.[3] During his time with The Cherries he was a first team regular in the side that won promotion to Division Two. However he featured only infrequently the following season where he played a match for Notts County reserves, and eventually joined Boston United in March 2004.[4] He scored a spectacular free kick on his debut for the Pilgrims. In the 2004–05 season he started 40 matches, scoring 6 goals.
He signed for Shrewsbury Town on non-contract terms after spells training with both Grimsby Town and Cheltenham Town. On 25 January 2007, he signed for Hereford United until the end of the season.[5] The pacy winger made his first team debut against Barnet on the left wing, and duly capped an impressive performance by scoring in the last minute of the match. He was a regular on the left wing for the remainder of the season, and later left having turned down a contract.
On 15 June, after his release by Hereford, Thomas joined Macclesfield Town on a two year contract.[6] In his first season Danny was awarded the 'player's player of the season' award. He was offered a contract extension early in his second season, after initially turning it down, he then agreed the deal in the latter part of that season, only for the club to pull the deal at the end of the season. At the end of the contract he was released from the club.[7]
In August 2009 he joined Conference National side Kettering Town.
On 15 June 2010, it was heavily speculated that Thomas would be joining Conference National team Tamworth, following his release from Kettering Town.[8] The following day this was confirmed.[9] Following a successful first season with The Lambs, Thomas opted to stay with the club for a further season with the options to a following 12 months after that.[10]
