Rebels take Farnborough striker on loan

Slough Town have acquired the services of striker Anthony Thomas from Conference South Farnborough on a one-month loan deal.

Thomas, 28, began his career at Hemel Hempstead Town, where he scored 78 goals in two seasons.

His form led to a move to League 2 Barnet, where he famously burst a hole in the side netting in the process of scoring on his debut in a televised match against Dagenham & Redbridge.

He was loaned out to Cambridge City in October 2007, and was released at the end of the season before joining Stevenage Borough in May 2008. He played against Slough in Stevenage's pre-season romp over the Rebels in the summer of 2008.

After struggling to hold down a first team slot, Thomas rejoined Hemel Hempstead Town after 11 appearances, scoring a brace in his first game against Yate Town.

Under the terms of the deal, Thomas cannot play in any cup fixtures, but he takes a place on the substitutes' bench for this afternoon's league match at Bedworth United.
