Jack Thomson, our subject for today, is a somewhat nondescript midfielder, born on a particularly cold day in Scotland – the 20th of January, 2000, to be precise. Celebrating his 25th birthday in the year of our lord, 2025, he, much to the excitement of ‒ I assume – very few fans, generally loiters in the position of central defensive midfielder for Kilmarnock FC. As for his stature, he's no Peter Crouch, measuring a distinctly average 1.8m tall ‒ or 5ft 10in in the old money. His weight? Well, he tips the scales at 72kg, or about 11st 4lb, if you're a fan of the imperial system.
Not one for flamboyance, Thomson favours the number 22 jersey, although I can't say it's particularly served him too well in terms of visibility or brand building. In terms of market value, Thomson is deemed worth around €250k, a fact confirmed by Transfermarkt. When we convert that through the magic of foreign exchange, it's about £212 000, give or take the odd quid. Not exactly Neymar territory, is it?
Right, let's delve into his illustrious career, shall we? Firstly, in what I can only assume was a fit of madness in January 2021, he decided to swap Rangers for the dizzying heights of League Two's Clyde ‒ on loan, no less. As if that wasn't heady enough, he then took the leap across the pond in May 2021, going on loan to the balmy climes of California with Orange County SC. Considering his globe-trotting tendencies, he surprisingly returned home in July 2021, signing for Queen's Park ‒ again on loan from Rangers. He played three seasons there, racking up an awe-inspiring two goals in his 33 appearances in his debut season, a stunning one goal in his 34 appearances in the next, before a goal drought in his 13 appearances in season 2024-2025.
Bored of his globe-trotting life, he cut ties with Rangers in January 2022 and made the decision to sign for Queen's Park permanently, a career highlight no doubt. After a few seasons displaying his unique brand of football brilliance (if you can call it that), Thomson then moved on to Kilmarnock in the Premiership in 2025. As of the current 2025-2026 season, he's given the pitch a miss in league matches, focusing his vast experience warming the bench.
