Garry Kevin Langrish Thompson (born 24 November 1980) is an English footballer who currently plays for Morecambe as a midfielder. He re-signed for his boyhood club on 28 June 2017, after remaining in close contact with his former teammate Jim Bentley, who is the current manager of Morecambe.
Born in Kendal, Cumbria, Thompson scored Morecambe's first goal in the Conference play-off Final against Exeter City in May 2007.
In January 2008, Morecambe turned down a £10,000 offer from Bradford City for Thompson. Instead he agreed to sign for Scunthorpe United on a three-year contract on 27 May 2008 on a free transfer, joining on 1 July.
He was released by the club in May 2012. Thompson signed a one-year contract with Bradford City on 4 July 2012. He made his debut on 11 August in the League Cup during a 1–0 win against Notts County. He then made his league debut a week later against Gillingham. He made his home debut on 21 August in a 1–0 win against Fleetwood Town, coming on as a substitute for Zavon Hines. On 28 August, he scored his first goal for the club, scoring an injury-time winner in a 2–1 win in the League Cup against Watford. On 11 December, he helped Bradford to the semi-finals of the League Cup by scoring against Arsenal. He scored his first league goal for the club on 26 December in a 2–1 win at home to Accrington Stanley. On 2 May 2013, he scored in the first leg of the play-off semi-final against Burton Albion. In the final, he assisted goals from both Nahki Wells and James Hanson as Bradford beat Northampton Town 3–0 and secured promotion to League One.
