Thorpe missed the first two months of Lincoln City's 2000-01 season as he recovered from a groin injury sustained in the final month of the previous campaign.
On his return the hard-working striker found league goals hard to come by, although he netted six in the LDV Vans Trophy games including his first ever senior hat-trick in the 3-2 win over Morecambe.
He began to form a useful strike partnership with Tony Battersby towards the end of the season and he finished with 13 league and cup goals, a respectable tally in a struggling team.
Thorpe was made available for transfer by Leyton Orient in January 2004 before his contract was cancelled by mutual consent two months later.
He joined Bristol Rovers with a contract to June 2006.
Thorpe moved on to Swansea City in February 2005 with a contract to June 2006.
His contract at Rochdale was extended to December 2008 in July 2008.
