Cruises to clean sheet Thomas registered one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 4-0 win over Columbus Crew.

Impact Thomas made one save Saturday, earning his second clean sheet of the campaign, as Seattle ran roughshod over a Columbus Crew side that was forced to play with 10 men for the entirety of the second half. Thomas made his seventh appearance (fifth start) of the season in relief of Seattle first-choice keeper, Stefan Frei, who remains sidelined with a head contusion. Should Frei's injury keep the veteran sidelined, Thomas will face his next challenge Sunday when Seattle host Sporting Kansas City, who have scored six goals over their last three matches in all competitions.

Makes appearance off bench Thomas had two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Portland Timbers.

Impact Thomas entered Saturday's match early in the first half after first-choice keeper Stefan Frei was removed from proceedings due to a head injury. Thomas made two saves but conceded the game's lone goal as Seattle fell 0 - 1 to Portland. According to head coach Brian Schmetzer, Frei received 10 stitches and is in concussion protocol. In turn, Thomas is the likely candidate to start between the sticks Saturday for Seattle when they travel to take on Columbus Crew who have scored 13 goals over their past five matches in all competitions.

Inks new deal Thomas has agreed to a new three-year contract with Seattle, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Thomas will be remaining with Seattle for the next couple of seasons, as he is now on contract until 2027 with an option for the 2028 and 2029 seasons. The 25-year-old currently serves as the backup, although he has appeared five times this season, notching one clean sheet, seven goals allowed and 18 saves during those games. However, this contract could imply he is the starter in the future, possibly even next season, as regular starter Stefan Frei is 38 and getting close to the end of his career.

Thomas has finally broke though with Seattle this season after serving with the team's USL affiliate, Tacoma Defiance, since 2021. Thus far in 2024, Thomas has made five appearances (four starts). In that time he's made 18 saves, conceded seven times and recorded one clean sheet.

Makes substitute appearance Thomas made two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss to D.C. United.

Impact Thomas entered the fray Saturday midway through the first half after Seattle first-choice keeper Stefan Frei was sent off with a straight red card. In relief, Thomas allowed one goal from the penalty resulting from Frei's red card and one from open play as the Sounders fell 1-2 to DC United. Thomas started the season in net for the Sounders with Frei unavailable due to injury. In the three matches he played prior to Frei's return, Thomas performed amiably, making 12 saves, conceding three times, and recording one clean. Thomas will likely be in net next Sunday when Seattle face a daunting LA Galaxy attack that has scored the most goals in MLS's Western Conference thus far in 2024.

Seven saves in draw with Colorado Thomas made seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids.

Impact Thomas was a difference maker for Seattle Saturday. He saved seven attempts on goal, including a penalty. He has accrued one clean sheet but has a good chance to extend that in Seattle's next against San Jose. The Earthquakes have not won a game this season and only scored three from their last four matches.

First career clean sheet Thomas made one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Austin FC.

Impact Thomas earned the first clean sheet of his career in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Austin FC. The Austin attack left Thomas with a quiet night in net, as he faced just two shots (one on target) and made the only save required of him. Thomas should continue to receive regular minutes in Seattle as first choice keeper Stefan Frei continues to recover from an injury. Overall, Thomas has equipped himself capably while filling in for Seattle's veteran number one, having made five saves, conceded twice and recorded a clean sheet over two appearances (two starts). Thomas and Seattle will now travel across the country to take on Philadelphia next Saturday.

Impact Thomas made his first MLS appearance in Saturday's 2-1 loss to LAFC, taking the place of injured Stefan Frei (hamstring). After serving as the Sounders third choice keeper in the previous campaign, Thomas now assumes the role of Sounders number two keeper behind Frei, after Stefan Cleveland departed for Austin FC in the offseason. If Frei remains sidelined, Thomas would face the attack of Austin FC next Saturday in Seattle.

Impact Thomas had missed the final few months of last season with a stress fracture in his back that he picked up in mid-August, but the 24-year-old should be fit and available to begin the 2023 campaign. He will likely be the third-string goalkeeper behind Stefan Frei and Stefan Cleveland.

Picks up back injury Thomas (back) has picked up a lower back stress fracture, according to the Seattle injury report.

Impact Thomas' stress fracture is the same thing that Obed Vargas is listed as suffering from and he's been out for over two months with no definite timeline for return. Thomas is the third string keeper and not a huge loss for the team, but this injury could certainly cause issues for his long-term fitness and development.
