Thomas Pinault (born 4 December 1981 in Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Racing Club de Grasse in France CFA 2.
He has previously played for Cannes, Colchester United, Grimsby Town, Brentford and Crawley Town.
His career started in the 1998–99 season when he was promoted to the first team squad with French club Cannes. After only one season in his native country, he had failed to break into the club's first team and was released in the summer of 1999.
Pinault moved to England with Colchester United. He made his debut in English football on 14 August 1999 in a 3-0 home defeat against Notts County. Pinault would go on to make over 150 appearances in all competitions for the Layer Road club until his departure in June 2004.
After unsuccessful trials with Northampton Town and Dundee United, the central midfielder moved to Grimsby Town on a free transfer in the summer of 2004, becoming one of Russell Slade's first new signings of his managerial tenure at Blundell Park. Despite a positive start to his career at Grimsby and being regarded as a first team regular throughout the 2004-2005 season, Pinault was released at the end of his first season by Slade, and had received strong criticism from his manager following an away fixture at Notts County.
