Hendry Thomas plays as defensive midfielder. He was recently linked to have problems with Club Deportivo Olimpia's captain Wilmer Velasquez while training but then stated nothing was going on between them.

Hendry Thomas is also part of the U-23 Honduran national football team who was coached by Colombian trainer Alexis Mendoza but is now coached by Gilberto Yearwood. Thomas has played as captain on several occasions, leading the coach to admit that Thomas is a key player to the team.

Thomas underwent a trial period with French club Toulouse FC. However, the trial was unsuccessful for Thomas.

Steve Bruce has now confirmed that Hendry Thomas will be a part of the Wigan Athletic squad next season. This signing is also leading to rumors that the team's star, Wilson Palacios will be leaving and Thomas will be his replacement.

Unfortunately for the player, it has today (12/07/08) been announced that he will not be joining Steve Bruce at Wigan Athletic next season. This is due to the player not being granted a work permit. Wigan Athletic and Steve Bruce lodged an appeal but were unsucessful. He will joing the club after reaching the requirements to get the work permit. The problem accured as some of the games that Thomas played for Honduras (olympic qualifiers) weren't classed as competitive games.
