She made 20 appearances while with the Thorns having joined them from San Diego Wave in March 2025. The 25-year-old won the NWSL Challenge Cup in her time with the Wave.

Her move to America set a record for the biggest transfer fee received by a club in the A-League Women when she departed Melbourne City.

Torpey made 48 appearances in Melbourne, twice being named in the PFA Team of the Season for her performances at full-back. Prior to that, she spent the first years of her professional career at Brisbane Roar.

The defender has 21 caps for the Matildas, and was part of their squad for the Olympics in Paris in 2024.
