Thorpe began her career with Redlake before moving to St. Catherine's in 1999. After helping the club to promotion, she joined Arsenal Ladies in August 2000 along with compatriots Susan Heapes and Yvonne Tracy. Thorpe was one of seven Irish players then in the Arsenal squad, and with Emma Byrne and Ciara Grant, one of three who were regulars in the first team. On her debut Thorpe scored two goals in a 5-0 win over Tranmere Rovers. She won the domestic treble in her first season, and was an unused substitute as Arsenal beat Fulham in the 2001 FA Women's Cup final at Selhurst Park.
Despite this success Thorpe returned to St. Catherine's in May 2001. She was back in the FA Women's Premier League in 2001–02, but with newly promoted Leeds United. In summer 2002 Thorpe played in the American W-League with Memphis Mercury, before returning to Leeds for 2002–03.
