Much has changed at Meadow Lane since. Just a year ago he signed for new manager Craig Short but Short didn't survive and was replaced by Paul Ince.
More recently, Ince also fell victim to a difficult season following a promotion and Martin Allen moved from Barnet to take charge towards the end of the season.
Despite having a year left on his contract, Harley has been told by Allen that he is free to go if he can find himself another club.
It's not quite so simple for Thomas who has no fall back. The player often acclaimed by Burnley fans because of the extraordinary fee we received for him when he moved to Southampton for £1.2 million in August 2007.
Three years on the south coast followed before he was released last summer and after enjoying a trial he signed for Doncaster on a one year deal.
He's played 21 games for them but today they have confirmed he won't be offered another contract at the Keepmoat and is now back in the market looking for a new club.
