Stuart Darren Thomas (most commonly known as Darren Thomas, born 25 January 1975) is a former Welsh cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler.
Having first achieved notability taking a five-wicket haul against Derbyshire at the age of 17, Thomas took his chance at a place in the England youth team, and continued to bowl well through to 1995, at which point he suffered a dip in form which lasted until he regained his form in 1998, finishing top of the wicket-taking stakes with 81 wickets at an average of 24. He bowled an innings of 7 for 16, a record for Glamorgan, and was offered a chance to play for England A against South Africa and Zimbabwe.
He became the leading wicket taker in 2000 and recorded his first ten-wicket innings against Durham in 2002.
In 2007, after fifteen years with Glamorgan, he joined Essex County Cricket Club. However, a shoulder injury sustained in February of that year prevented his playing even once for the first team, and in September he announced his retirement.
In 2002 his first Child was born. Named Ellie Thomas 20/08/2002. Now 12 years old
