  • Glyn Thompson is an English footballer who is currently with Newport County. He plays as a goalkeeper and his previous club was Hereford United. Shrewsbury is his hometown club, where he began his career as a youth player. He got his senior début as a 19-year-old under manager Jake King, in a 3-0 away win over Torquay United on the last day of the 1998-99 Division Three season. He made one more appearance for the club — a 3-0 League Cup defeat to Sheffield United — before joining Fulham for a £50,000 fee in October 1999. Fulham sent him on loan to Mansfield Town January 2000. He made 16 appearances before his loan spell ended in May of that year. Shrewsbury was again his next club, but he was only drafted in on loan as cover, and didn't play. He spent three months on loan to Northampton Town and made 10 league appearances. Northampton made the move permanent, but Thompson was only to start eight more league matches in the following two years. Chesterfield of League One bought him on a free transfer in March 2005. A 1-1 draw with Swindon Town on the final day of the 2004-05 season was his only match for the Derbyshire club. Before the 2005-06 season began, Thompson rejoined The Shrews. He spent the whole season as second-choice keeper behind Joe Hart and as a result opted to leave at the season's end, in order to find first-team action. On June 29 he signed for Hereford United. Shortly after his arrival at Edgar Street, he picked up an injury and so missed out on the opportunity to play when first choice keeper Wayne Brown was injured in the first league game. When he recovered from his injury, loanee Scott Tynan was preferred as first choice keeper until the return of Brown. Glyn made only one appearance for the first team in the 2006-07 season. This came in the JP Trophy against his former club Shrewsbury, and he also appeared for the reserves and in the HFA Senior Cup. He was released at the end of the season. In July 2007 he signed for Newport County who play in the Blue Square Conference South.
