MARLEY Thomas and Joe Stokes have chosen Slimbridge over Shortwood United.

The duo agreed terms at Thornhill Park last night.

Thomas, who started his career with Bristol City, played for Shortwood in their opening two friendly matches at Fairford Town last Friday and Stonehouse on Tuesday, scoring in a 2-1 win at Oldends Lane.

Meanwhile, Stokes was set to play for Shortwood in their match against Forest Green on Friday, but has now opted to return to the Swans.
