Michael Thomas (American soccer)

Michael Thomas (born March 8, 1988, in Olathe, Kansas) is a former American soccer player.

During his college years Thomas also played for Kansas City Brass in the USL Premier Development League.

[2] Shortly after the draft Thomas left the United States to go on trial with Halmstads BK in Allsvenskan[3] and following the club's failure to loan wished players from its partner club RCD Espanyol, Thomas was offered a short-term contract, 4 month with an option for the rest of the year,[4] which he signed on February 21, 2010,[5] however due to uncertainties what rules applied, Swedish or American, and Thomas' previous club affiliation, it took some time and the help of both the American and Swedish FA before Thomas was completely signed by Halmstads BK on March 20.

[6] On July 3 Halmstads BK reported that they would not use the clause to extend Thomas' contract until the end of the season and that Joakim Wrele from the youth squad would take his place.

[9] Thomas was traded to Toronto FC on July 2, 2013, in exchange for a second-round 2015 MLS SuperDraft pick.
