THOMAS began volunteering at Harlow Town Football Club in the 2015/16 season – the year that the club gained promotion through the play-offs.

Thomas was around 10 or 11 years old when he first volunteered and used to help set up the pre-match warmups and anything else that the coaching staff required him to do.

He travels to every match, home and away, and also helps out with the training sessions at the club on Tuesday and Thursday nights. He commands a great deal of respect from the management, officials, players and supporters. Thomas has been through the good times and the bad times with the club, but is always positive and happy and fun to be around.
