Notts County leads race in pursuit of star amidst interest from many clubs

Notts County are reportedly in talks to sign a player linked with a move to Blackpool in the January transfer window.

Football Insider reporter Pete O’Rourke, formerly of Sky Sports is reporting that the Magpies are in discussions to sign Terrell Thomas who is a free agent after leaving Charlton Athletic. He added that the League Two outfit are ‘due to make an offer’ for the free agent.

Football Insider claimed in December that the Seasiders along with Reading had been keen to sign Thomas six months ago. Barnsley and Wigan Athletic were also added to the race but Thomas now looks set for a move to Meadow Lane.

The five-time Saint Lucia international just finished a season in which he made 43 appearances across all competitions, starting 32 of them. He started the final four games of the season as Charlton easily won promotion to the third division, but Nathan Jones made the decision to bench him in an effort to establish his dominance over the team.

A move to Notts County would represent Thomas an opportunity of playing in League Two for the first time. He started out at Charlton before having two loan spells at Woking before bypassing the division to play in League One for Wigan. He dropped back down to the non-league to play for Sutton United and then returned to the third tier to play for AFC Wimbledon and Crewe Alexandra.

Thomas appeared a total of two times for Reading in the 2021/22 season and a year later returned to The Valley after starting his career in South London. A move to Notts County might not be imminent however as Thomas has World Cup qualifying matches to attend to with St Lucia as they play Haiti and Aruba.
