[edit] Playing career

Thomson started his career at Dundee United. He made his first team debut on 2 May 1987 in a 2-1 victory at Tannadice v Hibernian and only played 5 other first team games for the club before being loaned out to Barnsley.

He signed for Forfar Athletic in 1991 before joining Raith Rovers in 1993. During his time at Stark's Park he played in over 100 first team games. He then went on to have spells at Hull City and Motherwell before joining Airdrie in 1998. Thomson finished his career playing at Dunfermline Athletic, where he played alongside Scott M Thomson.

[edit] Coaching

Thomson was giving his first coaching job at Dunfermline when he finished his playing career. It was here that Thomson forged a special bond with striker Craig Brewster and goalkeeper Derek Stillie, who he would later join up with at Dundee United when Brewster was made player-manager. He remains as goalkeeping coach to this day, even after the departure of Brewster and Stillie.
