Luke Thomas

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

Luke Thomas, born on 19 February 1999 (age 27), is an English right winger currently with St Mirren, where he wears squad number 16. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.71m), he is not the sort of wide player who takes up much space before the ball arrives.

His career is most clearly shaped by Barnsley. Across three seasons there, Thomas made 73 league appearances and scored three league goals, which remains the substantial body of work on his record. His most productive league campaign came in 2022-23, when he scored twice in 15 appearances.

At St Mirren in 2026-27, Thomas has made 13 league appearances and one more in the League Cup, giving him 14 appearances in all competitions for the Paisley club. It is a modest current chapter rather than the main story of his career.

Thomas is an established professional whose strongest spell remains his time at Barnsley, with St Mirren now providing the latest stage of a career built mainly around regular service in England.

Thomas, 27 and English, plays as a right wing for St Mirren. His senior career has involved four clubs — Ipswich Town, Barnsley, Bristol Rovers and St Mirren — with multiple loan and return moves between Barnsley and Bristol Rovers, a pattern that points to a career built around short-term moves and squad roles rather than long uninterrupted spells at a single club.
