The England youth international signed a two-year scholarship deal with the Rams on Wednesday morning and announced the news on social media, where he was pictured alongside Academy Director Darren Wassall, Goalkeeping Development Coach Ross Atkins, First Team Head Coach Paul Warne, and agent Sam Rush.<\/p>\n
The news of Thompson\u2019s scholarship agreement came as part of a triple contract boost for the Rams, after their academy set up was decimated as a result of entering administration in September 2021. 20-year-old defender Max Bardell signed a contract until 2025 after making his professional debut as a substitute in the FA Cup First Round Replay against Torquay United. Northern Ireland youth international Darren Robinson also committed his future to Derby by penning a deal until the summer of 2024.<\/p>\n
