Galway (3rd Irish 2nd tier) drew 0-0 at Wexford (6th) on the weekend.
Thomas subbed off at 89 mins. Was his first start in the league.

One round of the regular season to go, and Galway could finish as high as 2nd. But that's only good enough for the 4 team Promotion Play-offs (teams 2 to 5 on the table). 

Winner of which then plays the 2nd last team in the Premier Division (UCD or Fin  Harps) in a Promotion/Relegation Playoff.

Galway win 3-0 (5-2 on aggregate), to progress to the next round of promotion playoffs. Thomas started and subbed off late at 90 mins. Flashscore had him playing as a striker??

Galway (3rd regular season) to play Waterford (2nd) next in the 2nd tier promotion final (a one off game).

Looks like the winner of that, then plays UCD (7th or 2nd last in the Premier Division) in a final promotion/relegation playoff.

Unfortunately Galway lose 3-0. Their promotion dreams are over.
Thomas off at 62 mins (2-0)

Presumably parent club Shelbourne will release him. Maybe Galway will pick him up permanently. Though can't be much money on offer down in the Irish 2nd tier.

With his past connections to Declan, you'd imagine he could try out lower level Sweden. From memory his wife is with him working - basically on their OE, so that would influence I guess where they'd consider going.
