Thompson was included in the Hobart Hurricanes squad for its inaugural WBBL|01 season (2015–16),[5] and was again selected for the WBBL|02 season (2016–17).[6] She is not one of the big guns in the WBBL, and sometimes plays essentially as a specialist fielder, a role she accepts without rancour.[7] In November 2018, she was named in the Hobart Hurricanes' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[8][9]
Off the field, Thompson works as a physiotherapist.[3]
