Despite this success Thorpe returned to St. Catherine's in May 2001.[7] She was back in the FA Women's Premier League in 2001–02, but with newly promoted Leeds United.[8] In summer 2002 Thorpe played in the American W-League with Memphis Mercury,[9] before returning to Leeds for 2002–03.[10]

Thorpe and her ex-Arsenal team-mate Susan Heapes both played in St. Catherine's 1-0 FAI Women's Cup final defeat to St Francis in July 2009.[11] A third Arsenal player from that era, Grainne Kierans, was on the opposing side.[11]

International career

Thorpe's first representative games for Ireland came as a 16-year-old.[9] In September 2000 Thorpe scored against Scotland and Northern Ireland as the Republic won the Celt Cup, a quadrangular tournament also featuring the Isle of Man.[2] That year she was nominated Under-18 International Player of the Year at the FAI International Football Awards. [2][9]

She later featured in the qualifying tournaments for the 2003 World Cup[12] and 2005 European Championship.[13] In October 2004 Thorpe scored Ireland's winner in a 2-1 friendly win in the Faroe Islands and then played in a 5-1 loss to the United States at Soldier Field.[14]
