McElderry on Brunaud: "Thomas hails from the south of France and is an attacking oriented player who has the ability to score all different types of goals. He impressed me with his link play and also the way in which he put himself in spots to get chances at goal. Scoring goals is the hardest part of soccer and I think Thomas will help us earn chances and also finish off others."
