Blackpool FC have secured the signing of full-back Dominic Thompson from Brentford. The club announced: “Blackpool Football Club have secured signing number three of the summer, after completing the transfer of Dominic Thompson for an undisclosed fee from Brentford.
“A full-back by trade, Thompson joins the Seasiders on a three-year deal until the summer of 2025, with the Club holding an option for a further 12 months.”
On signing for Blackpool FC, Thompson said: “It’s nice to finally get this deal done with a week to go before the new season starts.
“I’ve had experience through the leagues in my career so far, and I believe I can add a lot to this team and help build on the success from last season. I’m athletic and like to contribute to the attack as well as the defence. I’ll always give 100% to the team.
“I’m really looking forward to the future and playing Championship football on a regular basis here at Blackpool.”
Head Coach Michael Appleton said: “Dominic brings a really good pedigree to the Club. And is someone I was aware of following his loan spells at Swindon and Ipswich.
“He brings a real athleticism and energy and will offer a lot across the pitch in attack and defence. He knows how to defend one v one and at the back post. Which is everything you want in a full-back.
“We’re delighted that we’ve been able to bring him in permanently too. Which will only be a good thing for the football club.”
