Football career

[edit]

Born in Ibiza Town, Balearic Islands, Tomás began playing football at local Penya Blanc i Blava d'Eivissa before joining Villarreal CF. He played for three seasons in the club's reserve team in Segunda División, scoring once to conclude a 4–0 home win over Córdoba CF on 6 February 2010.[1]

Tomás made his only first-team and La Liga appearance on 21 May 2011 as the fourth-placed Yellow Submarine lost 1–0 at CA Osasuna on the last day of the season; he became the fifth man from Ibiza to play in Spain's top flight.[2] His only other involvement was on 2 November, when he was an unused substitute in a 3–0 home loss to Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League group stage.[3]

Tomás left Villarreal in January 2012, becoming Segunda División B club SD Ponferradina's first signing of the transfer window.[4] In August, with his team having been promoted via the playoffs, he stayed in the third tier at Levante UD B.[5]

When his two-year stay with the Granotes ended in relegation to the Tercera División in 2014, Tomás moved on to Arroyo CP.[6] The following July, he signed a one-year deal at SCR Peña Deportiva on his home island.[7]

In December 2017, Tomás announced his retirement due to a string of injuries while playing in the fourth division for UD Ibiza. He immediately found a new job at an airport.[8]
