A one time South Sydney Reserve Grade premiership winner in 2023, who also won the 2023 NRL Reserve Grade State Championship with South Sydney.
Thompson came through the St George-Illawarra junior system and played for the New South Wales U16s, however unable to cement a sot in the first grade team and off field incidents he retired from the game. After being retiring from football, and going off to work in a factory for 3 years , his weight had ballooned out to 140kg, Izaac was invited to trial with South Sydney by former Illawarra coach Jason Demetriou. Thompson worked on dropping his weight rapidly and regaining his fitness and was offered a train and trial contract. In 2022 his hard work paid off as he made his South Sydney reserve grade debut in the 2022 Round 1 clash against Canterbury-Bankstown at Belmore Sports Ground. After a standout season in 2022 he got his callup to make his NRL and South Sydney first grade premiership debut in the 2022 Round 21 clash against the Warriors at the Sunshine Coast Stadium.
Thompson is a powerful running winger with a ability to find the try line.
Thompson left rugby league in 2017 as the leading NSW Cup try scorer and upon return 5 years later did it again with South South Sydney in 2022. In 2022 Thompson was awarded the NSWRL NSW Cup Winger of the Year.
Thompson played 3 seasons with South Sydney. He played 14 first grade club games for South Sydney, which included 13 first grade premiership games and 1 first grade cup game. Thompson played 53 senior grade club games with South Sydney, which included 51 senior grade premiership games and 2 cup games. He scored 42 tries in his career at South Sydney.
Thompson played his final first grade club and premiership game in the 2024 Round 11 clash aganst North Queensland at Lang Park Stadium. He would spend the remainder of the season in reserve grade, playing first final senior grade club and premiership game in the 2024 Round 26 clash against Penrith at Penrith Park.
