Terell Thomas - June 2024: Signed for Carlisle (p18)

https://www.charltonafc.com/news/done-deal-terell-thomas-returns-addicks

Charlton Athletic are delighted to confirm the permanent signing of centre-back Terell Thomas.
 
The Saint Lucian international becomes the Addicks' eighth summer signing following the arrivals of Eoghan O'Connell, Mandela Egbo, Joe Wollacott, Conor McGrandles, Steven Sessegnon, Jack Payne and Jes Rak-Sakyi.
 
The 26-year-old, who has signed a one-year contract subject to EFL approval, explained he was excited to return to the Addicks having been with the club as a youngster. He said: "I'm really pleased to be back. I feel like I've got a lot of unfinished business here. When I was in the academy my dream was to break into the first team and now I have that opportunity so I'm very excited." 
 
Manager Ben Garner was delighted to bolster his defensive ranks: “Terell joins us to provide greater depth and competition in the centre-back position. Terell also provides us with greater versatility in terms of our defensive structure.
 
"He has trained with us for the last three weeks so is already integrated with the squad. Being a former academy player he knows the club well. Terell has good experience playing from League Two through to the Championship and we are very pleased to welcome him into the squad.”
 
Owner and CEO Thomas Sandgaard added: “We wanted to add to our defensive options, so we’re really pleased to bring in Terell, who has impressed everyone with his ability and attitude while he has been training with us.”
 
Born in Rainham, Thomas began his youth career with Arsenal before joining the Addicks' academy as a teenager. He spent eight years with the club before joining Wigan Athletic in 2017. Following a successful loan spell with Sutton United, Thomas moved to AFC Wimbledon for an undisclosed fee and made 90 appearances during three seasons in west London. After leaving Wimbledon he joined Crewe Alexandra before joining Championship side Reading in late March following an impressive trial period.
 
The defender has two caps for Saint Lucia after making his international debut this summer.

  • Did he ever play a senior game previously? Or would he get a brand new V number if he plays?
  • A sensible and fairly obvious signing in the circumstances, rather than someone who stands out as a player to take us to the next level.

    That we didn't seem to be chasing defenders on deadline day suggested this was likely to happen
  • has had a decent EFL career but not pulled up many trees at crewe last season..

  • Thought it might be until January. The fact it's until the end of the season suggests he was always going to be the centre back signing rather than a stop gap or loan signing on deadline day
  • Did he ever play a senior game previously? Or would he get a brand new V number if he plays?
    Not according to Wikipedia
  • More than decent enough CB as competition for places

    Go through the thread and find his number before 17:30 gmt, state v number, opponents and manager for £30 to the upbeats

    Welcome Terell……hope things turn out well, maybe you’ll need a couple of weeks or so to reach the necessary fitness levels required……good luck with that.
    How strange, that after all these years you end up back with us…….it’s a funny old game!

    Do it! We are on BST so you've got an hour more than TRH thought
  • Liked him when he was playing for our youth sides so hopefully will do well.
    I see he has been training for three weeks which explains the change of priorities before the window closed

  • Good luck TT. See you on Saturday. 
  • Is it just me or is that not exactly a ringing endorsement from BG
  • Outstanding signing.

    I'm sure we will all soon be wondering why Crewe terminated his contract last season.

    Won't we?
    Just like we wondered why Tranmere released Blackett-Taylor, hopefully. :-)
    I so hope you are right. 

    But forgive me if I have a few doubts.

    I used a different source so hopefully it still counts. :-)

    Ctrl+F to search for "Thomas" on the above webpage returns one result:
    617. J Thomas v Leicester City (H) 1.5.2004

    So no, Terell does not have a V number and will be eligible for one on his debut.
  • Outstanding signing.

    I'm sure we will all soon be wondering why Crewe terminated his contract last season.

    Won't we?
    Couldn't settle up north?
