Motherwell sign former Blackpool defender Thompson on short-term deal

Motherwell have signed left-back Dominic Thompson on a deal until the end of the season after his deal with League One Blackpool was terminated by mutual consent earlier this week.

The 24-year-old made his first senior appearance for Brentford having come through the Arsenal academy, before signing for Blackpool in 2022.

Thompson did not start a league game for the Seasiders this season and heads north of the border in search of regular minutes.

"I'm excited to be here in Scotland," Thompson said.

"I wanted to continue playing regular first-team football, and the opportunity to join Motherwell and play in the Scottish Premiership was an exciting prospect for myself personally.

"The manager has a real track record of developing players and enhancing their qualities on the pitch, and I felt that Motherwell would be the perfect place for me to develop my game."
