After his performances for the Sky Blues, Thomas departed in the summer of 2017, signing for Premier League side, Leicester City, linking up with their 23s.
During his time with the Foxes, George had loans away with Scunthorpe and ADO Den Haag before he joined QPR in 2020 on a free transfer.

Gerry Francis
