Bio
Recruited from the Returned Soldiers team, Reg Thompson was a Port Fairy native who joined St Kilda during the tumultuous final years of the Great War. He made his debut in 1918, stepping into a lineup that was grappling with the widespread player shortages caused by overseas military service. Thompson proved to be a capable option in the forward half, managing to boot four goals across his limited opportunities at senior level. His time at the Junction Oval was brief, concluding after the 1919 season as the league began to stabilise its playing lists following the armistice, leaving him as one of the notable servicemen who helped keep the game alive during the conflict.
