Aldershot Town manager Tommy Widdrington has expressed his delight at the permanent return of striker Kwame Thomas, praising not only his talent on the pitch but also his character off it.
Speaking after the announcement, Widdrington made it clear that Thomas fits perfectly into the culture he is building at the club.
“It’s no secret I’m a fan of Kwame both as a player but also as a man,” he said. “His core values and the way he approaches every training session and game is the epitome of the approach I want to see at Aldershot Town.”
Thomas rejoins the Shots for a third spell, having made a strong impact last season while on loan from Ebbsfleet United. His contributions, including a memorable assist in the Isuzu FA Trophy Final, have made him a fan favourite at the EBB Stadium.
Widdrington added:
“He’s a familiar face whom I’m sure the fans will be pleased to see return on a permanent basis rather than on loan.”
The 29-year-old forward brings not just experience, but also a fresh dimension to the team’s attacking options.
“I feel we know each other well and believe his addition gives us a different dimension, but still makes us a real goal threat given the other options we will have to support him,” the manager explained.
With Thomas now officially back in Aldershot colours, the club and its supporters are looking forward to what promises to be an exciting season ahead.
