Thompson was drafted in the second round, 16th overall, of the 2005 MLS Supplemental Draft by FC Dallas, and subsequently spent four years in Texas. He was traded to Kansas City Wizards on September 5, 2008, in exchange for allocation money.[2] Houston Dynamo acquired Thompson and allocation money from Kansas City in exchange for forward Kei Kamara during the 2009 season. Thompson signed with Miami FC/Fort Lauderdale Strikers on March 18, 2010.
