Career
In March 2017, Thompson was rewarded with a professional contract at Coventry City. During the second year of his scholarship Thompson was part of the team that won the U18 PL2 South keeping 12 clean sheets in a row. As a reward for his fine form, Thompson broke into the first team squad for the League Two Playoff Final at Wembley Stadium.[3]
He joined National League side Barrow in September 2017 on a one-month loan deal.[4]
Thompson was recalled from Barrow and soon after made his professional debut in the EFL Trophy 2–1 win over West Bromwich Albion U21s on 7 November 2017.[5]
On 31 January 2020, Thompson signed with Wrexham, on an initial 28-day loan from Coventry City. Thompson enjoyed a consistent run of games at the Racecourse which saw the club stay clear of the relegation spots before the season was curtailed.[6]
In April 2021, Jordon joined National League side Solihull Moors on loan until 31 May 2021. Thompson was part of a defence which kept five clean sheets in eight games which saw the Moors narrowly miss out on the playoffs.[7]
On 12 May 2021 it was announced that he would leave Coventry at the end of the season, following the expiry of his contract.[8]
On 11 September 2021, Thompson signed a one-year deal with Gloucester City. On 11 March 2022, after a prolonged spell of good form at both centre back and right back, Thompson was awarded the club's player of the month award.[9] He went on to make 28 league appearances for Gloucester City, scoring four goals, attracting strong interest from multiple National League clubs.
After leaving Gloucester City despite being offered a new contract, Thompson signed with National League North side Hereford on 24 September 2022 and made his debut that same day in a 3-0 league win at home to Blyth Spartans.[10]
On 25 July 2023, Thompson signed for National League South club Weymouth.
