In summer 2011, he signed an 18-month professional contract.[4] He made his professional debut on 4 October 2011, in a 3–1 defeat to Chesterfield in the Football League Trophy, replacing Mike Edwards as a substitute.[5] On 21 October 2011, he joined Conference Premier side Lincoln City, under the caretaker-manager Grant Brown, on an initial one-month youth loan,[6] debuting later that day as an 88th-minute substitute for Josh O'Keefe in the club's 2–0 league defeat at Cambridge United.[7] This was Thompson's only appearance for the club[8] as three days later David Holdsworth was appointed manager of the Red Imps and he elected to cut-short Thompson's loan.[9]
