Speaking to Rangers TV Thompson said: “It’s been brilliant so far. For the first few days I was training with the under 20s, and then I was training with the first team. “It was a brilliant feeling signing my contract - I’ve been over for a match before with my dad, but today it was just amazing to sign. “Ian Durrant and Craig Mulholland came over to have a chat with me in Belfast at the end of last season to let me know they were interested. “Then there was a scout from Northern Ireland, who got in contact with my mum about two weeks ago, then I came over on trial and I must have done well. “There were a few other clubs that I was on trial at, but when I came to Rangers I really enjoyed it. “Craig said to me that he had heard about me and had heard good things, and I did well in Ian Durrant’s team when I first arrived so I was then shown round to the first team wing and hopefully I can stay there. “I’m very creative within the middle of the park. I can tackle and make a good pass, and hopefully I can show fans that over the next few seasons. “It was brilliant to travel down to London with the first team, and I got the last half-hour and did quite well with them. “To run out at Ibrox would be a dream come true being a Rangers fan - it would leave me speechless.”
