Dominic Thompson, who was on loan at Ipswich Town from Brentford in 2022, has joined Scottish Premiership side Motherwell on a deal until the season’s end after leaving Blackpool.
The 23-year-old full-back had his contract with the League One club terminated by mutual agreement last week.
Thompson made over 50 appearances for the Tangerines after joining from Brentford in the summer of 2022 for an undisclosed fee, but he has found it difficult to secure regular minutes this season.
He signed with Stuart Kettlewell’s team in hopes of more game time, making his debut as a 60th-minute substitute in their 2-1 loss to St Johnstone over the weekend.
However, Kettlewell resigned as Motherwell’s manager soon after, citing personal abuse following a poor run of results.
The 40-year-old had managed the club for two years, and they are currently in fifth place. However, they’ve lost three consecutive matches, failed to win in four, and have only won one of their last nine games.
Thompson spent the second half of the 2021/22 season on loan at Ipswich, making 17 appearances for the club.
