Robins' Keeper Secures Future at Ashton Gate
In a reassuring move for the Bristol City faithful, goalkeeper Lewis Thomas has inked a new one-year deal with the club, with an additional option for a further year. This agreement comes as a solid step for both Thomas, who joined the Robins in 2023, and for a club that's looking more and more like serious contenders for this Championship season.
From Swansea to Bristol City
27-year-old Thomas, whose career kickoff was at Swansea, has had quite the journey, including a significant stint at Forest Green Rovers. During his time there, Thomas honed his skills under the tutelage of Pat Mountain, who is currently amongst the coaching ranks at Bristol City. This pre-established relationship with Mountain could be seen as a strategic move by the club, potentially enhancing the goalkeeper’s integration into the squad.
Yet to Debut
Despite his promising background, Thomas has not yet had the opportunity to showcase his abilities in a match for the Robins. However, with the new contract signed, it’s clear that the club sees potential and value in keeping him within their ranks.
Season's Kick-Off
Bristol City are gearing up for what looks to be a thrilling season, starting their Championship battle away at Sheffield United on 9th August. With the squad bolstered and spirits high, there's a palpable sense of anticipation about what the Robins can achieve this year.
City fans have every reason to expect that this could be a defining season, reminiscent perhaps of the glory days—echoing the magical runs in past campaigns where underdog victories and passionate performances etched themselves into club folklore. With Thomas’s commitment reaffirmed, the squad depth looks solid as they head into the kickoff of what might be a historic season.
Upcoming Thrills
As City fans, we’re always looking for that edge, that bit of magic that turns a good season into a legendary one. With the Sheffield United game on the horizon, it would be no surprise to see our Robins take flight in a manner reminiscent of the famed 1976/77 promotion campaign.
A Parting Chuckle at Our Rivals
To wrap this up with a bit of fun, here’s a little joke for our rival fans:
How many Cardiff City fans does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They're too busy reminiscing about how they once thought they could outshine us!
Here's to a bright season ahead, full of potential and devoid of blown bulbs!
