Former Charlton Athletic defender Terell Thomas has joined National League South side Slough Town. The centre-back made his debut for his new club in Saturday's 2-0 defeat away at Torquay United, starting alongside fellow new signing Killian Barrett at Plainmoor.

Thomas is a product of Charlton's academy, where he made 55 League One appearances for the first team before moving on. His career since leaving The Valley has taken him across the EFL, with spells at Wigan Athletic, AFC Wimbledon and Carlisle United. He made 73 appearances for Wimbledon in League One and featured 32 times for Carlisle in League Two last season. He also had productive loan spells in non-league with Sutton United and Woking, where he scored three goals in 42 league games.

International duty with Saint Lucia

The 30-year-old recently returned from international duty, where he captains the Saint Lucia national team. He was part of the squad that won three of its four CONCACAF Nations League matches this month, securing victories over Bermuda and Guadeloupe. That leadership experience is expected to bolster a Slough Town defence looking to climb the National League South table. Fans can check the club's fixtures to see when Thomas will next feature.

Back at his first club, Charlton Athletic, the team's current form is detailed in the standings, where they sit 13th in the Championship with 14 points from their opening 10 games. Their next test is a trip to Vicarage Road to face Watford on Saturday, as they look to turn a run of four draws from their last five matches into wins. The Addicks have averaged 1.7 goal minutes per game this season, a statistic supporters can explore further in the team's stats. Terell Thomas began his professional journey at Charlton and has now taken the next step in his career with Slough Town.
