Thompson was one of several Cardiff City players to have their season disrupted by injury in 2000-2001. He suffered torn stomach muscles in the first home game of the campaign and after surgery he made a brief return in December but it was not until towards the end of April that he featured regularly for the Bluebirds. He is an experienced full back who is more effective as an organiser than a creative force. Thompson was released from his Ninian Park contract in March 2002.
