Connor Thomson

Career
Connor started at his local club Carlisle but did not make a professional appearance. In 15/16 he moved to Blackburn Rovers and still got no gametime there. He then went on a free to FC Halifax where he made his first professional appearance and got his first goal. Thomson managed 1 goal in 11 games which then prompted Gateshead FC to come calling for his serves in the 18/19 season. He managed 1 goal in 25 games but was then sent on loan to Scarborough where he didn't make an appearance. In the 19/20 season he performed brilliantly on the right wing; scoring 2 goals and 5 assists in 38 games. Connor had another good season (20/21) he was a key figure on the right hand side of midfield, getting 3 goals and 8 assists in 44 games. The 21/22 season was Thomson's best yet, he stepped up as the teams favored right winger. Finishing with 9 goals and 8 assists from 38 games. This gained him 21/22 'player of the season'. It just got better and better for Thomson with the next season, he finished 2nd top scorer at the club with 14 goals (and 4 assists) which was due to him playing as a striker abit more. The next season, Gateshead were spoilt for choice on the wings and up top. Thomson still managed to be within this, playing 33 times and scoring 5 whilst assisting 3 goals. But with the signing of Calvalho in the 24/25 season he was going down the pecking order and struggling Huddlesfield came in with a lucratuive £150,000 bid for the 28 year old. This was accepted and he moved after playing a record 218 times for the club.
