After concluding his football career in Austria at an early stage, Thomas pursued his academic education in International Football Business at the University Campus of Football Business (UCFB) in London/Wembley, where he was also awarded a Programme Award for his outstanding academic performance.

Since then, he has built an extensive career within the global football industry, working with renowned organisations such as Red Bull, the UEFA Champions League, Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC, and SK Rapid Vienna, among many others.

Today, Thomas is the Managing Director of the football agency GROW, where he represents professional football players across Europe. Under his leadership, GROW has developed into one of Austria's leading football agencies and has been involved in several landmark transactions, including the biggest outgoing transfer of an Austrian football manager and also one of the most valuable contract extensions in European football.

In addition to his agency work, Thomas actively supports German-speaking students in gaining access to football management degree programmes in London. He also lectures on the football industry at various academic institutions, including IFI, FH Joanneum, Bundesliga Campus, UCFB and AMOS.

In 2023, Thomas co-authored his first book, "How To Become A Football Agent" together with Dr. Erkut Sögüt. The book has since been published in German, Spanish and Turkish and serves as a practical guide for aspiring football agents worldwide.
