Five years after being let go by Stoke City of the EFL Championship, a former Rangers periphery player has started

After spending three years at Ibrox, the former Manchester United junior player is searching for a new team.

Five years after being let go by Stoke City of the EFL Championship, a former Rangers periphery player has started

looking for a new team for the first time.

Jordan Thompson, a midfielder who spent three years at Ibrox, joined the Potters in January 2020 and played more

than 150 games for the team.

The 28-year-old was part of the mini 2015 summer transfer window revolution at Rangers following Mark

Warburton’s appointment as manager after failing to earn promotion from the Championship the previous season.

The Northern Ireland international spent a large portion of his time on loan in the lower levels with Airdrieonians,

Raith Rovers, and Livingston after failing to establish himself in the first squad at Old Trafford.

Thompson was dismissed at the end of the 2017–18 season after being limited to only two senior appearances in his

debut season with Rangers and failing to make an impression on Warburton. After joining Blackpool, he went back

south that summer and earned regular first-team play at Bloomfield Road.

After being signed by Stoke, Thompson was on the move once more eighteen months later. Over the course of the

following five and a half years, he became the club’s longest-serving player. His name has been added to the roster of

players who will be leaving at the end of the current campaign, though.

The 39-cap international still supports Rangers despite his disastrous time there, having outfitted his newborn son

Crue in a Rangers baby grow. During his time at Ibrox, Thompson also cited Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller as the

two players he learnt the most from.
