In 1964, Thom moved to Dundee United but left within a year to join Shrewsbury Town, after making less than a dozen league appearances. Thom was a regular during his short time with Shrewsbury and played nearly fifty league games before moving to Lincoln City in 1966, where he remained for three seasons.
