Thompson was born in Chester, Cheshire.[4] He began his career with Swindon Town, moving from the youth set-up to become a professional in April 2009.[5] Even before he signed the two-year deal he had reportedly received interest from Premier League sides Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Newcastle United.[6] He made his debut on 5 October 2010, as he replaced Scott Cuthbert in a Football League Trophy win over Torquay United. He made his league debut on 2 November 2010, when he played the full ninety minutes of a 3–0 home defeat to Charlton Athletic.[7]

On 20 April 2013, Thompson was awarded the 2012/2013 Swindon Advertiser 'Player of the Year' after winning by more than 60 per cent of the fans' votes[8] and Thompson won again in 2013/2014.[9]

Portsmouth

[edit]

On 22 June 2017, Thompson signed for newly promoted League One club Portsmouth on a two-year contract on a free transfer.[10] He scored his first goal for Portsmouth against Sunderland in the 2019 EFL Trophy Final in which Portsmouth won on penalties. Thompson left after his contract expired in search for Championship football.[11][12]

Peterborough United

[edit]

On 16 August 2019, he signed for Peterborough United on a two-year deal.[13] In May 2021, he signed a further two-year contract.[14]

At the end of the 2022–23 season, Thompson was announced to be departing the club upon the expiration of his contract.[15]
