Barrow AFC are delighted to announce the arrival of winger, Seb Thompson.



The 23-year-old spent his youth career developing his craft in the Aston Villa, Liverpool, Derby County and Burnley Academy set-ups.


Since then, his career has seen him gain valuable experience of men's football having spent time at Macclesfield, Rushall, Leamington and Kidderminster.


Last season, Thompson registered an impressive 16 goal contributions across his spells at Kidderminster and Leamington. He scored the goal which sealed Harriers' place in the play-off final, before they went on to secure promotion to the National League from the North division under the management of Adam Murray.


Now the versatile forward links up with Murray again at Barrow AFC, with Thompson wearing the 14 shirt.


We can confirm that he has been registered in time to be eligible for this afternoon's clash against Worthing FC.

Looks a decent enough signing!

Not sure it’s that exciting. Going off his career history he is no where near national league level

It's ultimately down to each individual we sign if you're determined, going to work hard that's half the battle, the Manager etc then then help develop them !

How many ex-Kidders do we have onboard now?

Kidderminster 2nd after last night result doing ok without them.

It's noticeable how low key we treat our signings this season. No big social media teasers, just 'We've signed this player'.

Also noticeable how they are getting leaked less…..

Adam Murray confirmed in my pre match interview today that Seb has automatically triggered an extension on his contract which will take him to the end of the season at least and he also has further options in place as well as long as he keeps on performing

Brilliant news

Good news he's been a revelation really and proved a few people wrong.
Perhaps he's finally living up to his potential now after drifting around a few clubs having been on the books of some bigger ones when he was younger. He can shoot, dribble, cross and take on a man with a bit of trickery, can play either side. He's been very impressive and a big part of our turnaround. Much prefer him and Allen on the flanks to George Walker.
