SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that they signed Homegrown Player Tommy Thompson to a new contract for the 2024 season with a club option for 2025. As San Jose’s first-ever Homegrown signing in 2014, Thompson is the team’s longest tenured player and first in club history to play his initial 11 seasons with the Earthquakes.
Thompson, 28, has tallied five goals and 11 assists in 203 regular season games played (111 starts) for the Quakes. He currently sits at fourth on the club’s all-time appearances list behind only Chris Wondolowski (376), Shea Salinas (332), and Ramiro Corrales (250).
In addition to his on-field contributions, Thompson is a two-time recipient of the club’s Andrew Bedard Spirit of the Game/Humanitarian of the Year Award (2017, 2019). The award is named for Andrew Bedard, a young Earthquakes fan who passed away at eight years old in 2004. The honor is presented annually to the Quakes player that works hard in the community and best embodies Andrew’s positive attitude both on and off the field. Thompson also earned the team’s Media Good Guy award, which recognizes the player deemed most open and welcoming to media requests, in 2022.
The Sacramento native previously represented the United States at the Under-20 level and made five appearances at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
