We are delighted to announce the signing of central defender Adam Thompson.
Most recently with Leyton Orient, where he had spent the previous three seasons and earned promotion from League Two, Adam has well over 200 appearances in the EFL and brings a wealth of experience to our back line. The 32-year-old began his career at Watford, earning a professional contract at Vicarage Road before embarking on spells with the likes of Brentford, Bury, Barnet, and Southend United. The Harlow-born centre back has also been capped by Northern Ireland from U17 to senior level.
“I think we can all see the team is in need of some extra experience and Adam certainly brings that”, added manager Gavin Macpherson. “He’s not only a great influence on the pitch but also in the dressing room. Centre back is an area that has seen changes and it’s important that area is allowed to settle down. His experience will give some of our younger lads much needed support and I’m delighted he’s signed.”
Welcome to the club, Adam!
