Luke Thomas

Luke Thomas of St Mirren was born on 19 February 1999 (age 27).

Luke Thomas is an English right winger, born on 19 February 1999 (age 27). Compact at 5ft 7in (1.71m), he has built his senior career less on physical presence than on getting about the pitch and playing wide.

Barnsley is the club that has shaped most of his professional record. Across three seasons there, Thomas made 73 league appearances and scored three league goals, with his most productive league campaign coming in 2022-23, when he scored twice in 15 appearances.

He is now with St Mirren, wearing squad number 16. In 2026-27 he has made seven league appearances, along with one League Cup outing, taking him to eight appearances in all competitions for the Paisley club.

Thomas’s career to date is a straightforward one: a wide player whose main body of work came at Barnsley, followed by a spell in Scotland with St Mirren.
