Club career
Tomás was born in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia. After one season with hometown's SD Compostela he joined Atlético Madrid in 1981, first playing with its B-side. In the 1984–85 campaign he made his La Liga debuts and never again lost his starting XI berth, going on to amass nearly 500 overall appearances for the club.
On 25 May 1996 Tomás took the field in the 80th minute of his final game, a home fixture against Albacete Balompié, to a rapturous ovation. Although he played in only 12 matches during the season he aided the Colchoneros to an historic double, and retired altogether in 1998 after two stints in the lower leagues.
International career
Tomás earned 19 caps for the Spanish national team, and was selected for the 1986 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1988 (both as a starter, as he appeared in seven complete matches – out of eight – combined). His debut came on 20 November 1985 in a 0–0 friendly with Austria, in Zaragoza.
Post-retirement
Reñones embraced a career in politics after retiring, being elected by Grupo Independiente Liberal (GIL, founded by longtime Atlético president Jesús Gil) to the Marbella city hall, in the sports departments.
After the local mayor was arrested due to a corruption scandal, he took office in 2006 as interim, but soon faced the same charges and was arrested by the Spanish police, as part of Operation Malaya.[1]
