[2] He made his debut in the Football League on 5 December as a second-half substitute, replacing the injured Shwan Jalal, and kept a clean sheet as Bournemouth beat Shrewsbury Town 1–0 in Football League Two. [5] On 4 February 2011, Thomas joined Dorchester Town on loan. He made his debut the next day in a 1–0 win over Weston-Super-Mare.
