A Kamilaroi and Lumaranatana man from Tasmania, Thomas was drafted with North Melbourne's No.8 pick in 2018 as a priority selection from the Roos' Next Generation Academy.
His rangy 189cm frame and sublime skills made him a dangerous midfielder-forward, as agile in the air as he was clean at ground level.
He made an immediate impact in his debut season, when he earned a Rising Star nomination in his second game, and his career-best year came in 2021, when he averaged 18 disposals across 21 games and finished in eighth place in Syd Barker Medal voting.
