Who is Paul Thomas?

Paul Thomas is an Australian rules football player currently playing in the South Australian National Football League with Central District Bulldogs. His father is Jamie Thomas who also played with the Bulldogs in the 1980s.

After spending a year on the Adelaide Crows list as a rookie in 2002, Thomas went back to the SANFL where he worked on improving his game, and he won a Magarey Medal in 2004. The Essendon Football Club picked him up in the 2004 AFL Draft but was delisted at the end of the 2005 AFL season after eight games for Essendon.

Thomas returned to Central District in 2006 and was appointed club captain in 2007, a position he still holds into the 2012 season. He was captain of the Bulldogs winning SANFL Grand Final teams in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. He won his second Norm Russell Medal as Centrals Best & Fairest in 2009 to add to his 2004 win and in 2008 was named the Bob Quinn Medallist as for his best on ground effort in the SANFL's annual ANZAC Day match played at the Adelaide Oval between the previous season's grand finallists.

On 26 May 2012 Thomas was given the honor of captaining South Australia when they defeated Western Australia by 14 points, 15.11 to 13.9 at Gliderol Stadium @ Glenelg in Adelaide.
