Thomas in Pies frame

JOSH Thomas has completed his remarkable comeback from an drugs ban after agreeing to a three-year deal with Collingwood.

The Redland product, who was offered a Gold Coast contract as a junior as part of zoning, has enjoyed a superb season, kicking 27.9 and five bags of three or more goals.

The terms of the deal have been agreed, only days after a three-goal effort in the defeat to West Coast at the MCG.

Collingwood rookie-listed Thomas and Lachie Keeffe once tested positive for clenbuterol contained in illicit drugs taken at the St Kilda Festival.
