Career
Born in Melton Mowbray,[2] Thomson started his career at Nottingham Forest[3] as a 12 year old in 2004[4] and was in their academy for six years.[4] After leaving Forest he had an 18-month spell at Glenn Hoddle's academy in Spain and Jerez Industrial,[5][4] but made his competitive footballing debut for Conference North side Hinckley United against Gloucester City on 3 December 2011. He came on as a 78th-minute substitute for Danny Bragoli as the match ended in a 2–2 draw.[6] The next season, Thomson moved to fellow Conference North side Histon, making his debut on 21 August 2012 against Boston United. He started in the 6–0 defeat for the club.[7] After another season, Thomson moved to King's Lynn Town where he scored a hat-trick for the club in their FA Cup match against AFC Fylde.[8]
In January 2015, Thomson signed with Conference National side Chester.[3] He made his debut for the club on 24 January against Kidderminster Harriers. He came on as an 84th-minute substitute for Brad Abbott as Chester won 1–0.[9] Thomson scored his first goal for the club on 10 March 2015 against Torquay United. His 29th-minute goal was the only one in a 1–0 victory.[10] In November 2015, Thomson joined F.C.

On 16 January 2016, it was announced that Thomson had been sold by Chester to F.C.
