Thomas played a single first-class match for Glamorgan in the 1932 County Championship against Northamptonshire at St. Helen's, Swansea.[2] In the match he scored 10* in his only first-class innings, leaving him without a career batting average.[3] The success of fellow slow left arm orthodox spinners Wilf Jones and Emrys Davies meant Thomas' services were not called upon again.

Thomas died at the town of his birth on 19 September 2001.
