Hide AdHe was a key cog as Kenny Jackett’s men sat at the summit of League One before the turn of the year, scoring three goals in 27 appearances.
To the Blues’ disappointment, though, Thompson was recalled by Millwall in January.
Pompey tried to sign the Sidcup-born talent on a permanent basis but were rebuffed.
After returning to the Lions, Thompson became a regular starter.

Hide AdHe netted four goals in 13 outings to help his boyhood club avoid relegation from the Championship.
And despite already being tied down at the Den until 2021, Thompson looks primed to extend his contract.
