Aidan Thomas '25 Recruiting Profile

I was born in Cannes, France and moved to Pittsburgh in 2016 at the age of 9. I am a hard worker and know that my fight and ethic on the field, or in school comes from overcoming any personal hardships in life. Would this make me stand out on your team? Absolutely. I’m a fighter. I'm physical. I am level headed, coachable and composed with my game decision making and I play to win. My quick decision making, ability to move off the ball, first touch, ability to play under pressure, strategic playmaking, and strength are my biggest strong suits on the field. 

A huge role model to me is my Dad, Yannick, who played for AS Cannes. I feel that if he had been allowed the access that I have had, he would have been a professional player. The fact that he had been given the opportunity to enter into the Clairefontaine program for AS Cannes but his father declined that access reminds me my parents have helped me prepare and map out my future with no roadblocks and have fully embraced my desire to play. 

Obviously as tastes change, so do my ideas of what I want to study or be. One thing I know is I want to continue playing soccer, playing it well and excelling in life choices. I am excited for you to watch me evolve as a student player.
