ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Saint Louis FC announced the signing of midfielder Matt Thomas, pending league and federation approval, for the remainder of the 2019 USL Championship season.
Thomas was born in Las Vegas, Nevada and developed in the Real Salt Lake-Arizona youth system. He played collegiately at Rocky Mountain College where he made 77 appearances and scored 16 goals with ten assists during the 2014-2017 seasons.
