  ## Football career
  
  Born in Ibiza Town, Balearic Islands, Tomás began playing football at local Penya Blanc i Blava d'Eivissa before joining Villarreal CF. He played for three seasons in the club's reserve team in Segunda División, scoring once to conclude a 4–0 home win over Córdoba CF on 6 February 2010.
  
  Tomás made his only first-team and La Liga appearance on 21 May 2011 as the fourth-placed Yellow Submarine lost 1–0 at CA Osasuna on the last day of the season; he became the fifth man from Ibiza to play in Spain's top flight. His only other involvement was on 2 November, when he was an unused substitute in a 3–0 home loss to Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
  
  Tomás left Villarreal in January 2012, becoming Segunda División B club SD Ponferradina's first signing of the transfer window. In August, with his team having been promoted via the playoffs, he stayed in the third tier at Levante UD B.
  
  When his two-year stay with the Granotes ended in relegation to the Tercera División in 2014, Tomás moved on to Arroyo CP. The following July, he signed a one-year deal at SCR Peña Deportiva on his home island.
  
  In December 2017, Tomás announced his retirement due to a string of injuries while playing in the fourth division for UD Ibiza. He immediately found a new job at an airport.
