George Thomason

George Andrew Thomason (born 12 January 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for side Wrexham.

Career Early career Thomason spent his most of youth as a left-back at Blackpool, signing as an 8-year-old but was released as a 16-year-old. As part of the deal, Bolton agreed to play a pre-season friendly against Longridge Town the following season, although the match happened during pre season for 2021–22 season instead. The match finished 3–1 to Bolton, with Thomason playing 45 minutes.

On 31 January 2020, he was loaned out to Northern Premier League Premier Division club Bamber Bridge. He returned to Bamber Bridge the following season, alongside teammate Callum King-Harmes, before being recalled in November as non-League football was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England. He made his debut for the "Trotters" on 17 November 2020, in a 3–2 victory over Newcastle United U21 in the EFL Trophy. He made his English Football League debut on 5 December, in a 6–3 home defeat to Port Vale. On 26 December 2020, he scored his first Bolton―and first professional―goal, scoring Bolton's first goal in a 3–3 draw against Carlisle United. His performances in December saw him voted by the Bolton fans as Bolton Player of the Month. On 12 February 2021, he signed a new 18-month contract. On 21 May 2021, he was named Bolton's Young Player of the Year for the 2020–21 season. On 5 November, he signed a one-year contract extension, extending it to at least 2023. On 2 December 2022, in a match against Bristol Rovers, Thomason went off injured with the injury possibly ruling him out for the rest of the season. Two weeks later, on 15 December, he signed a new contract with Bolton until 2025 with the option of an extra year. He returned much earlier than expected, however, for he was back in training in February. On 2 April, he came on as a substitute in the 2023 EFL Trophy Final against Plymouth Argyle. Bolton went on to win 4–0. On 14 August 2023, EFL Championship side Bristol City had a £1 million bid accepted for him, though Thomason turned them down preferring to stay at Bolton. He signed a new four-year contract a day later. On 21 September 2024, Thomason was named as the new Bolton captain.

Wrexham On 21 July 2025, signed a three-year contract with recently promoted EFL Championship side Wrexham, with it reported by The Bolton News they paid £1.2 million. He returned to his prior youth team position of left-back during his time at Wrexham.

Style of play Thomason is a box-to-box midfielder. Bolton manager Ian Evatt said that Thomason has excellent positioning skills, vision and has a "wonderful left foot".
