Thompson, who has played for Yorkshire his entire career, will join up with the Bears at the end of the 2025 season.
Known in Yorkshire as the ‘man who makes things happen’, Thompson has been a mainstay of the White Rose side in all formats since making his debut in the Blast in 2018.
The 28-year-old, born in Leeds, has 322 professional wickets to his name with five five-wicket hauls.
Thompson has twice taken 40 wickets in a County Championship season, with a First-Class best of 5/31, and an impressive best of 5/21 in the Vitality Blast.
He is also a skilled batter, known for his dangerous lower-order play and high-tempo ball-striking.
He has a high score of 98 in First Class cricket, averaging 21.94 with the bat in the longest format, striking at a pacey 64.43.

​​First Team Coach, Ian Westwood said, “Jordan is a three-dimensional, multi-format player who will be a great addition to our squad both on and off the field. He’s a quality performer who I believe still has his best days in front of him. 
“He’s known for his competitiveness and thrives on being involved in big moments on the field. We can’t wait to welcome him to the Bears.”
Thompson had an auspicious start to the summer in the Rothesay County Championship.
He took 15 wickets and scored 178 runs in five matches before being ruled out by a side strain.
He will officially join the Bears on November 1.
