Thomas was born in Saint Kitts, then part of the British Leeward Islands colony.[1] A right-handed batsman, Thomas made his first-class debut for the Leeward Islands during the 1966–67 Shell Shield season, against Barbados, and also played against Jamaica later in the season.[2] Against Jamaica, he made what were to be the two highest scores of his first-class career, 44 runs in the first innings and 77 in the second.[3] However, Thomas only played two further matches for the Leewards – a friendly against the Windward Islands at the end of the 1966–67 season, and a match against the touring English team during the following season.[2]
After emigrating to Bermuda, Thomas made his debut for the national team in 1972, in a match against the United States for the Henry Tucker Trophy.[4] His first major international tournament was the 1979 ICC Trophy in England, where he played four matches (including the semi-final loss to Canada). Thomas made his last international appearances at the 1982 ICC Trophy.[5] In his final match, against East Africa, he scored 68 runs.[6] After retiring from playing, Thomas served on the selection committee for the national team, including for a period as chairman of selectors.[7][8]
