After starting with his home town Maryport's rugby union club, Lomas switched to rugby league, playing for Bramley, Salford, Oldham and York in a career that lasted for twenty-four years from 1899 to 1923, and saw him set new transfer fee and point scoring records. He also played representative matches for England, Lancashire and Cumberland.[2][7] After retiring from playing Lomas coached Salford.[5]

Early life

Lomas was born on 26 August 1879 in Maryport, Cumberland, England, the son of Sarah (née Tyson) and James Lomas. He is the younger brother of Tom Smith,[8] who played association football for Preston North End and Tottenham Hotspur.

Career

Early career

Lomas started his career with his hometown rugby club, Maryport, while they were still playing rugby union. His first known appearance for the first team came on 14 November 1896 in a 3–0 defeat against Millom.[6] Lomas remained with the club when they made the switch to rugby league and joined the Northern Rugby Football Union in March 1898. In 1899, he made his début appearance for Cumberland aged 19, scoring the only try of the match which was a 3-0 victory over Cheshire at Whitehaven.[9]

1900s

Lomas became rugby league's first £100 transfer, from Bramley to Salford in 1901[10] (based on increases in average earnings, this would be approximately £35,890 in 2013).[11] He played for them in the 1902 Challenge Cup Final loss against Broughton Rangers. He then played in 1904's first ever international rugby league match for England against Other Nationalities. His club record for most points in a game (39), achieved for Salford against Liverpool City on 2 February 1907, still stands today. He also played in the 1904 Challenge Cup final for Salford.

Lomas was also notable for his goal-kicking style. He was the first player to stand the ball up on its end.[12] Lomas won caps for England while at Salford playing centre, but arriving after the start of the match, in the 3-9 defeat by Other Nationalities at Central Park, Wigan on Tuesday 5 April 1904, in the first ever international rugby league match.[13] in 1905 against Other Nationalities, in 1906 against Other Nationalities, in 1908 against New Zealand, and Wales, in 1909 against Australia (3 matches) and Wales.[3] Lomas also won caps for Great Britain while at Salford in 1908–09 against Australia (2 matches, both as captain), in 1910 against Australia (2 matches), Australasia, and New Zealand.[4] Lomas captained the successful first British tour of the Southern Hemisphere which began on 4 June 1910. He also represented England in 1910 against Wales.[1]

1910s

In January 1911 he joined Oldham from Salford for a fee of £300, (based on increases in average earnings, this would be approximately £104,600 in 2013).[11] While there in 1911 he played for England against Wales, and Australia (2 matches). During the 1911–12 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain Lomas captained Great Britain in the second and third Ashes tests. Lomas also played in Oldham's 1912 Challenge Cup Final defeat by Dewsbury.

During Lomas' time there was Salford's 5-3 victory over Huddersfield in the Championship Final during the 1913–14 season. He had also represented Cumberland and Lancashire.

1920s

As the coach of Salford, player shortages forced Lomas to play in some cup matches for Salford in the 1922–23 season, and in 1923–24 season he was again forced to make some appearances. His last match for Salford, aged 44, was against Wakefield Trinity on 29 September 1923.[14] He continued in his coaching role at Salford until the 1925–26 season.

Statistics

Lomas was a prolific points scorer throughout his career, finishing with a total of 2,312 points in all competitions.[15] Lomas' total points was an all-time career record until it was surpassed by Jim Sullivan during the 1928–29 season.
