The long-serving Jets performer is currently weighing up his options for next season and although he appears keen to extend his stay at Newcastle, he wants the club to move swiftly on the contract front.

"I'm not going to lie there are other clubs I have been speaking to, and it's just a matter of getting it sorted as soon as possible," Thompson told the Newcastle Herald.

Thompson is one of several players out of contract at the club with the likes of Adam D'Apuzzo, Ange Costanzo and Ljubo Milicevic all free agents at the end of the current campaign.
