Loan spells

On 25 August 2011, Thompson joined Brentford on a month's loan,[9] scoring on his Bees debut in a Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie away to MK Dons. His goal made the match 1–1 at the time, it finished 3–3 with Brentford winning 4–3 on penalties.[10] His loan was later extended for another month.[11] Thompson returned to Watford on 26 October.[12] Thompson re-joined Brentford on a one-month youth loan in early February[13] which was extended until the end of the season on 10 April.[14] Throughout the season, Thompson played a total of 22 games for Brentford in all competitions, but did not make an appearance for Watford.[15]

During the first month of the 2012–13 season, Thompson played the entire game in Watford's League Cup tie against Bradford City, and subsequently joined Wycombe Wanderers on a month-long youth loan.[16] Two days after joining the club, Thompson made his Wycombe Wanderers debut, playing 90 minutes, in a 1–0 loss against Southend United.[17] However, just two appearance, Thompson returned to his parent club.[citation needed]

In January 2014, Thompson made the move to Southend United a permanent one for undisclosed fee, signing an 18-month contract.[25] Just after finishing his loan spell, Thompson attracted interests from two clubs before Southend United won the race to sign Thompson.[26] Thompson's first game after signing for the club on a permanent basis came on 18 January 2014, where he set up a goal for Barry Corr, in a 3–0 win over Chesterfield.[27] Thompson ended his season, making sixteen appearance (as well combining his loan spell at Southend United) after he injured his calf,[28] although he never played throughout the 2013–14 season despite being fit[29] and being once on the bench.[30]

The next season, Thompson missed the first four matches, due being on the bench and made his first appearance, coming on as a substitute in the first half, in a 2–0 loss against Plymouth Argyle on 30 August 2014.[31] Since recovering from a calf injury, Thompson have established himself in the 2014–15 season despite missing out for four matches in late-December.[32] Thompson was once again on the sidelined during a match against Mansfield Town on 3 April 2015 when he was injured in the first half and had to be substituted by Cian Bolger.[33] After having surgery, it was announced that Thompson would be out for the reminder of the season and ended his season, making twenty-nine appearance in all competitions.[34] Despite being absent, the club went on achieve promotion to Football League One after beating Wycombe Wanderers in the play-off final.
