Biography

Thompson began his career at Arsenal before signing as a trainee with Bolton Wanderers, having previously played for junior side Newham Warriors. [2] He turned professional in July 2007. He joined Stockport County on loan in October 2007, [3] and made his league debut for Stockport on 6 October in their 4–2 defeat at home to Barnet. He also played in the Football League Trophy win at Macclesfield Town, [4] the league defeat at Darlington, [5] and the league win away to Milton Keynes Dons, [6] before returning to Bolton at the end of his one-month loan. [7]

He joined Conference National side Torquay United on loan in January 2008, [8] along with Bolton teammate Mark Ellis. His Torquay debut came in the FA Trophy, as a substitute for Elliott Benyon as Torquay won 2–1 away to Newport County on 12 January. A week later he again came on as a substitute for Benyon, as Torquay drew 0–0 away to Salisbury City in the Conference. [9] He did not appear again for Torquay and returned to Bolton later that January. [10]

He was released by Bolton at the end of the 2007–08 season, [11] and had a trial with Gillingham in July 2008, [12] playing in their friendly defeat against Birmingham City. [13] He joined Yeovil Town on trial the following month, scoring for their reserve side in a 6–0 victory over Salisbury City's reserves. [14] Thompson signed for Conference South club Thurrock on 1 September 2009. [15]

Thompson left Thurrock in 2010 and signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Concord Rangers.
