Career

Hampton & Richmond

Thompson started his career at Hampton & Richmond Borough. He made his debut with only 16 years old, on 12 March 2011, against Weston-super-Mare. He scored his first career goal three days later, against Woking. [2] His success at the club earned him trials at Stoke City in July, [3] Newcastle, Crystal Palace in October [4] and Queens Park Rangers.

Portsmouth and loans

On 5 January 2012, Thompson signed for Portsmouth, in a one-year scholarship deal. [5] This caused concern for Hampton & Richmond as they expected compensation. [6]

After his signing to Portsmouth, Thompson joined Havant & Waterlooville on loan until the end of the season, to gain first-team experience. [7] He made a total of 13 appearances (12 league matches and 1 was a friendly against Bournemouth). [8]

After the end of the season, Thompson was promoted to the Portsmouth first team. [9] And made his debut on 14 August, starting in a EFL Cup match against Plymouth Argyle. [10] Due to an increase in players, Thompson was relegated to the Development squad. On 29 October 2012, he scored 4 goals against Gosport, in a friendly match for the Development squad. Despite his performance against Gosport, the manager Guy Whittingham ruled out his involvement in first team squad, due to 20-man shortage. [11] On 21 November 2012, Thompson joined Dorchester Town on an initial month-long loan, alongside George Colson. [12] Thompson made his debut in a FA Trophy match against Luton Town coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute, the match ended in a 2–2 draw.

In January 2013 Thompson signed for Isthmian Premier Division side Bognor Regis Town on a month-long loan. [13]

In March, Thompson was told that his Pompey contract would not be renewed. [14] After his return to Pompey, he was released.

Return to Non-League

In July, Thompson returned to Hampton & Richmond Borough, making his re-debut for the club on 25 September, against Wingate & Finchley. [15]

In December 2013, he joined Conference South side Hayes and Yeading United, [16] but he was already departed by their first match of 2014. [17]

He re-signed for Bognor Regis Town in February 2014, [18] [19] and Farnborough in August 2014. [20]

In September 2014 he was back Bognor Regis for his third spell, [21] [22] then Redhill in January 2015, [23] Hampton & Richmond Borough once again over the summer of 2015, [24] Walton & Hersham in September 2015, [25] Bedfont Sports in October 2015, [26] Hampton & Richmond Borough again in November 2015, [27] Chipstead in December 2015, [28] and back at Hampton & Richmond Borough in January 2016.

After being part of the Hampton & Richmond Borough squad that won the 2015–16 Isthmian League Premier Division, he joined Burgess Hill Town in August 2016 after a successful trial. [29] He moved to Tonbridge Angels om January 2017. [30] In February 2018, manager Steve McKimm released him along with two other players. [31] Just over a week later, he signed for Braintree Town, where he won promotion to the National League. [32] Thompson made 9 appearances for Braintree following promotion, but following a change of manager, his opportunities became limited. He signed for Dulwich Hamlet in December 2018. [33]

In June 2019, Thompson joined Kingstonian. [34] He moved to East Grinstead Town, where he made five appearances before the 2019–20 season was cut short. [35] In May 2021, Thompson moved to Margate. [36] In January 2022, Margate announced Dan had left by mutual consent. [37] He subsequently signed for Whitehawk, [38] scoring once before leaving at the end of the season. [39]

In September 2023, Thompson joined Bowers & Pitsea. [40] He moved to Phoenix Sports just two months later. [41]
