What happened: Fleetwood Town have signed Welsh forward Josh Thomas on a two-year contract. The 23-year-old joins as a free agent after his deal at Swansea City expired. He arrives following a loan spell at Derry City in the League of Ireland.
Why it matters: The signing adds attacking depth as Fleetwood prepare for a third consecutive season in League Two. Securing a free agent on a multi-year deal gives the club a young forward to build around without a transfer fee. It marks a fresh start for Thomas after his exit from Swansea City.
By the numbers: Thomas, 23, made 20 appearances on loan at Derry City in his most recent stint. Fleetwood finished 15th in League Two last season and now enter their third straight year at that level.
What to watch: Watch how quickly Thomas works into the forward rotation as Fleetwood shape their squad for the new campaign. His preseason form will signal his role for the year ahead.
