George Henry Thomson (born 19 May 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for side Harrogate Town.
Born in Melton Mowbray, Thomson started his career at Nottingham Forest[2] as a 12 year old in 2004[3] and was in their academy for six years.[3] After leaving Forest he had an 18-month spell at Glenn Hoddle's academy in Spain and Jerez Industrial,[4] [3] but made his competitive footballing debut for Conference North side Hinckley United against Gloucester City on 3 December 2011. He came on as a 78th-minute substitute for Danny Bragoli as the match ended in a 2–2 draw.[5] The next season, Thomson moved to fellow Conference North side Histon, making his debut on 21 August 2012 against Boston United. He started in the 6–0 defeat for the club.[6] After another season, Thomson moved to King's Lynn Town where he scored a hat-trick for the club in their FA Cup match against AFC Fylde.[7]
In January 2015, Thomson signed with Conference National side Chester. He made his debut for the club on 24 January against Kidderminster Harriers. He came on as an 84th-minute substitute for Brad Abbott as Chester won 1–0.[8] Thomson scored his first goal for the club on 10 March 2015 against Torquay United. His 29th-minute goal was the only one in a 1–0 victory.[9] In November 2015, Thomson joined F.C. United of Manchester on a one-month loan, which was later extended to a two-month loan.[10] He made his debut for the club on 21 November in a 2–2 draw against Nuneaton Borough.[11] A few weeks later, on 19 December, Thomson scored his first goal for United in a 3–2 victory over Nuneaton Borough.[12]
On 16 January 2016, it was announced that Thomson had been sold by Chester to F.C.

He made his debut for Harrogate Town on 5 August 2017 against Nuneaton Borough. He started and scored the first goal for Harrogate in a 4–0 victory.[14] Thomson would go on to finish his first season with the club by helping his side earn promotion to the National League and scoring 11 goals.[15] Two seasons later, on 2 August 2020, Thomson helped Harrogate earn promotion again to League Two. He scored the first goal in a 3–1 victory in the National League playoff final against Notts County.[16] Later that month, he extended his contract with the club.[17]
