Daniel Thompson (born 25 November 1993) is an English footballer who plays for Phoenix Sports as a striker.
Hampton & Richmond
Thompson started his career at Hampton & Richmond Borough. He made his debut with only 16 years old, on 12 March 2011, against Weston-super-Mare. He scored his first career goal three days later, against Woking.[2] His success at the club earned him trials at Stoke City in July,[3] Newcastle, Crystal Palace in October[4] and Queens Park Rangers.
Portsmouth and loans
On 5 January 2012, Thompson signed for Portsmouth, in a one-year scholarship deal.[5] This caused concern for Hampton & Richmond as they expected compensation.[6]
After his signing to Portsmouth, Thompson joined Havant & Waterlooville on loan until the end of the season, to gain first-team experience.[7] He made a total of 13 appearances (12 league matches and 1 was a friendly against Bournemouth).[8]
After the end of the season, Thompson was promoted to the Portsmouth first team.[9] And made his debut on 14 August, starting in a EFL Cup match against Plymouth Argyle.[10] Due to an increase in players, Thompson was relegated to the Development squad. On 29 October 2012, he scored 4 goals against Gosport, in a friendly match for the Development squad. Despite his performance against Gosport, the manager Guy Whittingham ruled out his involvement in first team squad, due to 20-man shortage.[11] On 21 November 2012, Thompson joined Dorchester Town on an initial month-long loan, alongside George Colson.[12] Thompson made his debut in a FA Trophy match against Luton Town coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute, the match ended in a 2–2 draw.
In January 2013 Thompson signed for Isthmian Premier Division side Bognor Regis Town on a month-long loan.[13]
In March, Thompson was told that his Pompey contract would not be renewed.[14] After his return to Pompey, he was released.
Return to Non-League
In July, Thompson returned to Hampton & Richmond Borough, making his re-debut for the club on 25 September, against Wingate & Finchley.[15]
In December 2013, he joined Conference South side Hayes and Yeading United,[16] but he was already departed by their first match of 2014.[17]
He re-signed for Bognor Regis Town in February 2014,[18][19] and Farnborough in August 2014.[20]
In September 2014 he was back Bognor Regis for his third spell,[21][22] then Redhill in January 2015,[23] Hampton & Richmond Borough once again over the summer of 2015,[24] Walton & Hersham in September 2015,[25] Bedfont Sports in October 2015,[26] Hampton & Richmond Borough again in November 2015,[27] Chipstead in December 2015,[28] and back at Hampton & Richmond Borough in January 2016.
After being part of the Hampton & Richmond Borough squad that won the 2015–16 Isthmian League Premier Division, he joined Burgess Hill Town in August 2016 after a successful trial.[29] He moved to Tonbridge Angels om January 2017.[30] In February 2018, manager Steve McKimm released him along with two other players.[31] Just over a week later, he signed for Braintree Town, where he won promotion to the National League.[32] Thompson made 9 appearances for Braintree following promotion, but following a change of manager, his opportunities became limited. He signed for Dulwich Hamlet in December 2018.[33]
In June 2019, Thompson joined Kingstonian.[34] He moved to East Grinstead Town, where he made five appearances before the 2019–20 season was cut short.[35] In May 2021, Thompson moved to Margate.[36] In January 2022, Margate announced Dan had left by mutual consent.[37] He subsequently signed for Whitehawk,[38] scoring once before leaving at the end of the season.[39]
In September 2023, Thompson joined Bowers & Pitsea.[40] He moved to Phoenix Sports just two months later.[41]
