| Ashley Thomas is a physically commanding centre half who will prove a tough obstacle for attackers at any level, proving a strong competitor in the challenge and at 6'3" more than capable of dominating in the air. Thomas is an experienced stopper at Hellenic league level and although the step up to Southern League football may require a little time he is a player quite capable of making the adjustment. Made an assured debut against Banbury and as well as some strong challenges also impressed with his willingness to move forward to join the attack at times. | |

Thomas was a key component of the succesful Slimbridge side that won the Hellenic Premier league last season only to see promotion to the Southern League denied them at the last moment as financial collapse saw his club withdraw from thel eague and effectively close their first team. Thomas impressed in a couple of pre-season games for City during the summer, notabley a 2-2 draw with Conference side Salisbury, but at the time manager Tim Harris felt he had defensive players ahead of Thomas which would keep him from regular football. The player started the season with Shortwood United and came back to haunt City as the Hellenic League Premier club enjoyed a good FA Cup run, beating first Tiverton and then humbling Gloucester in a 2-0 defeat when Thomas impressed in the heart of his side's defence. Financial pressures and poor results at City have seen a amjor squad reshuffle and the door finally open for Thomas to step up and show that he can impress at a senior non-league level. |
