Thomas Offered Lifeline

Swansea manager Kenny Jackett has invited injury-prone striker James Thomas to pre-season training.

The former Blackburn front man, 26, recently underwent yet another operation to try and cure a chronic knee problem and is due to be out of contract in the summer.

However Jackett told a local paper he will give Thomas the chance to prove his fitness.

"James will have to regain his match fitness and we're giving him July to impress," said Jackett.
