Thorne missed the opening weeks of the 2000-01 campaign while recovering from a knee injury picked up in the previous season's Play-Off semi-final and it was not until mid-September that he returned to first-team duties for Stoke City.
He soon re-established himself as a key member of the side scoring a healthy quota of goals including a hat-trick in the 3-0 win at Bristol Rovers, his second in successive seasons at The Memorial Ground.
He went on to finish the season as leading scorer with 19 goals in all competitions and signed a further 12- month extension to his contract with City.
He is a striker who is good with his back to goal and is a constant threat in the air.
Thorne joined Bradford City in July 2007 with a one-year contract.
His Bantams contract was extended to June 2010 in June 2009 but was cancelled in March 2010.
