Former Chelsea goalkeeper Jared Thompson has won a contract with FC Midtjylland.

The Ulsterman had been trialling with the Danes as a free agent and has done enough to win a contract.

The 22-year-old has signed a one-year agreement with FC Midtjylland.

"We're happy about the approach of Jared. He has shown himself well over the past week and completes our team," says FCM goalkeeping coach Lasse Heinze.

Thompson has a past at Chelsea's youth academy and has most recently been on contract at Exeter City and Brentford.
