Joan Tomàs Campasol (born 17 May 1985), known as Joan Tomàs, is a Spanish former professional footballer. Mainly a left-winger, he could also operate as a striker.

Club career

Born in Girona, Catalonia, Joan Tomàs was an unsuccessful graduate from Espanyol's youth ranks, after which he moved to neighbours Lleida in the Segunda División B. After one season with Alicante in the same tier, which ended in promotion,[1] he joined Villarreal.

Even though already 23, Joan Tomàs spent over a year registered with the B side, and made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 1 February 2009, in a 3–0 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña.[2] During the 2008–09 campaign, also, he was one of the most important elements for the reserves as they eventually achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División.[3][4]

In the summer of 2010, Joan Tomàs left Villarreal and signed for Celta of the second division.[5] He contributed five goals[6][7][8][9][10] in 37 matches in his second year, as the Galicians returned to the top flight after a five-year absence. He played just 24 minutes at the higher level, before he was released from his contract by mutual consent.[11]

Joan Tomàs then joined AEK Larnaca of the Cypriot First Division,[12] with whom he spent six years. In January 2019, he signed for Lamia of Super League Greece.[13] On 28 February, he scored with a scuffed shot to beat Olympiacos goalkeeper Yury Lodygin in a 1–0 away win that qualified for the semi-finals of the Greek Football Cup 4–3 on aggregate.[14] In July, he renewed his link for one season.[15]

Joan Tomàs moved countries again in late August 2019, with the 34-year-old agreeing to a deal at Liga 1 (Indonesia) club Persija Jakarta.[16] He retired in 2023 after two seasons with amateurs CF Peralada in his native region, immediately being appointed their assistant manager.[17]
