Career
Thomas was active in German professional football since 1978. After appearances in the 2.

His biggest success with the Krefeldern was winning the DFB-Pokal in 1985. In the 2–1 final victory against the Bayern Munich, Thomas came on as a substitute.

In 1985, he joined the Bundesliga promoted Hannover 96, with which he descended directly and then immediately rose again. In the 1986–87 Bundesliga season, he completed only three appearances, before he switched back to the second division to Kickers Offenbach.

Wayne Thomas's younger brother Dean Thomas was active as a pro in Germany. He came to first and second division appearances for Alemannia Aachen and Fortuna Dusseldorf.
