A goalkeeper, Thompson began his career in the youth system at hometown club Swindon Town, before moving into the Chelsea academy during the 2012 off-season.[3] He progressed through the ranks to sign a scholarship deal and upon turning 17 in February 2016, he signed a 2+1⁄2-year professional contract.[4] Thompson was a part of the U18 team which emerged victorious in the 2015–16 UEFA Youth League and the 2016–17 U18 Premier League and FA Youth Cup.[4] He was also an unused substitute for the U21 team during a 2–1 EFL Trophy group stage defeat to Swindon Town on 13 September 2016.[5]

Thompson joined National League South club Chippenham Town on loan for the duration of the 2017–18 season.[6] He finished the Wiltshire County FA Senior Cup-winning season with 45 appearances and the club's Young Player of the Year award.[7][8][9] Thompson signed a new 18-month contract in October 2017 and played the second half of the 2018–19 season at NIFL Premiership club Warrenpoint Town.[4][10] Thompson was released at the end of the 2018–19 season.[1]

On 18 February 2020, Thompson joined League Two club Exeter City on a short-term contract.[11] He was an unused substitute on four occasions, but was not involved in the Grecians' unsuccessful playoff campaign.[5] Thompson departed St James Park when his contract expired.[12]
