Josh Thomas returns to Swansea City

Port Vale FC can confirm that Josh Thomas has returned to his parent club, Swansea City.

The 21-year-old joined the Valiants on loan in August 2023 and made 15 appearances across all competitions - scoring three goals and creating two assists.

Throughout his time with the Vale, Thomas would go on to make his professional league debut and made a number of noticeable contributions for Andy Crosby’s side, including goals against Fleetwood Town and Sutton United in the club’s historic Carabao Cup run.

Everybody at Port Vale FC would like to thank Josh for his time with the club and wish him every success in his future career.

Speaking of Josh Thomas' time with the Valiants, Port Vale FC's Director of Football, Dave Flitcroft, said:

"Firstly, on behalf of the club, I would like to thank Josh for his efforts whilst with the club. Josh is a very talented player with incredible determination on the pitch and he was a brilliant character off it.

"Unfortunately for both us and Josh, his time with the club was a stop-start due to the multiple international breaks and injuries, culminating with the injury he suffered whilst playing for Wales U21s back in November.

"Myself and the entire club wish Josh nothing but the best of luck in his future career and we would like to thank Swansea City for entrusting us with the growth and development of one of their highly-rated talents for the first half of the season."
