Boston United's Zeph Thomas has made 39 moves in 18 years, a testament to his journeyman status. The 36-year-old Bradford-born winger has played for numerous clubs in England and abroad, including Rotherham United, where he started his career under Mark Robins. He was released in 2008 without making a senior appearance, a decision that did not come as a complete surprise to him. Thomas has since played for over 20 clubs, including Mickleover Sports, Frickley Athletic, and Thunder Bay Chill in the United States. He's now player-manager at ninth-tier South Yorkshire club Dearne & District, who face Boston United in the FA Cup on Saturday. The village club based in Goldthorpe, near Barnsley, has gone from being in the Doncaster Saturday League in 2021 to playing in the FA Cup, a massive achievement for the area. Thomas' career has been marked by his ability to adapt and move on, often for more money. He's played in different countries, including the United States, Canada, and Belgium, and has even worked in a call centre in Rotherham. Despite his numerous moves, Thomas has remained positive about his experiences, saying that playing in different countries was a great experience. He's now focused on his role as player-manager at Dearne & District, who are looking to make a mark in the FA Cup.
