Louis Clyde William Thompson (born 19 December 1994) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a midfielder for Norwich City. His brother Nathan is also a professional footballer.
Thompson started his career at Swindon Town where he followed his older brother Nathan Thompson through the Wiltshire football club's youth system under the guidance of former Wales international footballer and Swindon coach, Paul Bodin.
During the 2011–2012 season, Swindon Town manager Paolo Di Canio drafted Thompson into the senior side by naming him on the substitutes bench for FA Cup victories over Huddersfield Town, Colchester United and Wigan Athletic. He was also on the bench for the Football League Trophy draw at Barnet and Football League Two wins over AFC Wimbledon and Rotherham United. However, Thompson failed to make it on to the pitch during any of those fixtures.
Thompson made his first team debut for Swindon on 28 January 2012 as an 81st-minute substitute for fellow Town midfielder Simon Ferry during the 2–0 away loss to Leicester City in the FA Cup Fourth Round.
After making his debut, Thompson expressed his gratitude to Di Canio for giving him his first opportunity within professional football by telling the local Swindon newspaper, the Evening Advertiser, that it was "an amazing feeling to make my debut at such a young age. I am so thankful to the gaffer for giving me my chance".
