Good stuff..was wondering whether it was a little early for him and he'd be better off in the U23s for another year. But the Academy sides seem to be letting in a lot, so maybe not.

Any of our non-league fans likely to get out and see him before season ends?

blythspartan Is Thomas still on trial with us?


Played in the last game but not seen anything else on him

Seems worth just a short term contract to end of season now tbh. Even just as cover


Agree with this. Maybe we’ll offer him something soon.

Going to visit some family in Eastbourne over Easter and I think Welling are playing them on the Good Friday so we’ll probably take niece/nephew to the game.

Sweet, be great to hear from someone who sees him in a game.

Apparently Birmingham are interested in Terrell Thomas:

EDIT:

Birmingham and a number of top League One sides are eyeing a move for Terrell Thomas in the summer when his six-month deal with Reading U23s expires.

In the bit in bold true? Was he signed for 6 months? Was he signed for the U23s seeing as he's over 23?

You can play overage players in the PL 2

I guess also - you're allowed play a trialist for U23 games - and it may give you a better idea of whether the player fits than just looking at them in training.

You don’t sign players for the U23’s. You have professional contracts and scholar contracts (Academy). A 20 year old has a pro contract, not an U23 contract.
Given he’s been around a month or so and has just signed a short term deal the bit about a 6 month contract was obviously rubbbish. If he’d been on a contract since the start of the year he would almost certainly have played / been on the bench by now !

Yes, sorry that's what I meant - he's been playing with the U23s as a trialist, i.e., without signing anything, as trialists could play for them, whereas they couldn't play for the senior team. Not that he was "signed as an overage player for the U23s", which as you say, makes no sense.
