Joe Thomson, a seasoned midfielder, was born on 14 January 1997 in Scotland. He positions himself predominantly as a central defensive midfielder for Larne. Thomson, who is 5ft 10in (1.78m) tall and weighs 11st (70kg), dons the number 6 jersey for his team.
Thomson's professional career initiated with Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland. He made his debut in the 2015 - 2016 season, making a solitary appearance for the first team in league matches. However, his stint with Celtic led him through various loan deals to actively participate in the Scottish football circuit.
His first move came in August 2016 when he was loaned to Dumbarton in the Scottish League One. During the 2016 - 2017 season, Thomson made 18 appearances for Dumbarton's first team, netting two goals.
In January 2017, Thomson moved on loan to Queen of the South, also in Scotland's League One. He put on the Queen of the South jersey 17 times in the season of 2016 - 2017, scoring four goals, and went on to make four appearances the following season.
In August 2017, his career saw another twist as he was loaned to Livingston in Scotland's Championship where he made a handful of appearances. He was loaned back to Queen of the South in December 2017, suiting up 17 times and scoring four goals in the 2016 - 2017 season and making another four appearances in the subsequent season.
In July 2018, Thomson parted ways with Celtic to join Dunfermline Athletic in Scotland's Championship. He remained with Dunfermline Athletic for two years, through to July 2020, before moving to Derry City in the Premier Division in Rep. Ireland.
Thomson proved his worth at Derry City, making a considerable number of appearances through three seasons and contributing to the teamโs scoreboard. He played in nine league matches in 2020, scoring once, while in 2021 and 2022, he bettered his previous tally with 26 and 32 appearances and four goals in each season.
Yet another shift in his career trajectory came in January 2023, when Thomson transferred to Larne in the Premiership in N. Ireland. Here, he has been active on the pitch, making 17 appearances and scoring three goals in the 2022 - 2023 season, 30 appearances with eight goals in the 2023 - 2024 season, and making an early impression in the current 2024 - 2025 season with eight appearances so far.
Apart from his mainstay league matches, he has also participated in various other tournaments, including the Champions League Qualifiers with two substitute appearances for Larne in the season of 2024 - 2025 and the Conference League Qualifiers for the same season with three starts and one substitute appearance. He has also been seen in the Irish Cup of the 2023 - 2024 season, making a single start for Larne, and in the Conference League of 2024 - 2025 with one start.
