ODESSA, TX. The Odessa Roughnecks are please to announce today, the return of one of the team's most effective players in it's short history. Wide Receiver Wayne Thomas re-joins the team one game in to the 2005 campaign. The 6' 2", 200 lbs. athlete is just in time to study new play books and grab a seat on the team's bus as it pulls out for Lincoln, Nebraska on Wednesday, where the Roughnecks take on the Capitols this Friday night.
"He was a tremendous contributor last season and I am very impressed with his physical condition as he returns." commented head coach Chris Williams. Thomas joined the Roughnecks just after the half-way point of the 2004 season. He caught 20 passes for 445 yards tallying 5 touchdowns and establishing himself as a clutch player. In addition, the wide receiver returned 3 kickoffs for touchdowns, more than any other player on the 2004 roster. Prior to his time in Odessa, Thomas was the all-time leading scorer in the Arena Football2 while playing for the Birmingham Steeldogs from 2000-2003.
