Career

Born in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, Thompson started his career with Retford United's youth system, before he served his apprenticeship with Lincoln City during a three-year spell.[4][5] He made one first team appearance for Lincoln, as a substitute in a 3–1 away defeat to Carshalton Athletic in the FA Trophy on 18 January 2012.[2] Thompson was released by Lincoln before going on trial with Worksop Town, before he rejoined Retford later in 2012.[4] He broke the record for goals scored in the under-19 league, with 32 goals from 18 appearances.[4] He scored 14 goals from 20 matches with the first team from Christmas to the end of the 2012–13 season.[4] He scored 39 goals in 2013–14.[4]

Thompson joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Frickley Athletic in October 2014,[6] making his debut as a 90th-minute substitute in a 2–0 home victory over Belper Town on 18 October.[7] His first goals came on 4 November 2015, after scoring twice in a 3–0 win over Stocksbridge Park Steels in the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup.[7] He signed a contract with the club in November 2014 after scoring four goals from five starts.[6] On 1 May 2015, Thompson scored twice as Frickley beat Nostell Miners Welfare 4–1 in the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup final, finishing 2014–15 with 15 goals from 32 matches.[7] He was rewarded with a new-two year contract by Frickley.[8]

After a successful trial, Thompson signed for League Two club York City for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract on 3 August 2015.[9] He made his debut in the opening match of 2015–16, a 3–0 away defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on 8 August 2015.[10]
