Thomson told Dundee United’s official website: “It was a no-brainer for me. The gaffer has put his trust in me since day one.

“It’s good to have a manager who we’ve seen previously will give young boys a chance.

“That’s helped my confidence and spurred me on to go and impress him.”

He added: “Playing in front of the fans every week has been brilliant and I can’t wait to keep doing that next season – they’ve taken a shine to me and that’s been massively beneficial too.”

Goodwin: Thomson was ‘a revelation’

Thomson made 15 appearances for United last season and impressed with his fearless forays from right-back and excellent set-piece deliveries.

He can also play in central midfield, as he did for Montrose, and anywhere across the forward line.Goodwin lauded: “Upon his return from Montrose in the winter window, Miller was a revelation throughout the second half of the season.

 

“His impact on the side cannot be understated – he brought a completely different dynamic to the backline, offering us real pace and ball-carrying threat at a vital point in the title race, continuously improving on a weekly basis.”

That versatility is considered hugely valuable to the Terrors as they prepare for their Premiership return.
