Dan Thomas (born 11 October 1993) is a Welsh rugby union player currently playing for the Bristol Bears, having previously played for both Llanelli RFC and Gloucester. His position is Flanker. He is a Wales Under-20 international.
In January 2013 he was selected in the Wales Under 20 squad for the 2013 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.[1]
On 2 May 2017, Thomas left Gloucester to join local rivals Bristol in the RFU Championship ahead of the 2017–18 season.[2] Bristol Head coach (at the time) Mark Tainton said that Thomas' form and physicality 'impressed', whilst at previous club, Gloucester.[3]
