Cheltenham Town finally managed to convert a League Two penalty in their final home game of the season. Jordan Thomas successfully scored from the spot, breaking the team’s long-standing penalty hoodoo. This was likely to be Thomas' final home appearance for the club, and he made it count by scoring his ninth goal of the season.
Cheltenham’s manager, Michael Flynn, revealed that Thomas had volunteered to take penalties a few weeks prior to the match and praised his performance. While other young prospects of the team have also excelled, it is Thomas who has consistently impressed with his skills on the field.
Signed in 2024 for £5,000, Thomas has quickly risen through the ranks and is now being tipped for a potential move to the Championship. With his contract containing a buyout clause, it is expected that he will soon be moving on to bigger opportunities.
