George Louis Elliot Thorne (born 4 January 1993)[3] is an English footballer who plays for Derby County, as a midfielder.

Club career

West Bromwich Albion

Born in Chatham, Thorne joined West Bromwich Albion's Academy in 2005, having been one of the many talented youngsters who were left without a club when Cambridge United's youth scheme closed. He made his debut in a 4–0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in 2009–10, coming off the bench for Simon Cox.[4] At 16 years, 328 days, this made him the youngest player to represent Albion in a senior competitive match since Bobby Hope in April 1960.[5] In January 2010, Thorne signed his first professional contract with Albion, doing so prior to the club's home game with Nottingham Forest.[6]

Portsmouth (loan)

On 24 November 2011, Thorne joined Championship team Portsmouth on loan until 2 January 2012, alongside Joe Mattock.[7] He made his début two days later, starting in a 1–1 draw against Leicester City at Fratton Park.[8] On 20 December 2011, he was recalled along with two other players also on loan at other clubs due to an injury crisis.[9] On 18 February 2012, he rejoined Portsmouth on loan.[10] He made his second debut in a 2–0 defeat against Barnsley the same day.[11] On 30 March, he suffered an ankle injury in the game against Burnley, being ruled out for the rest of the season, and returning to West Brom.[12]

Peterborough United (loan)

On 21 November 2012, he joined Peterborough United on loan until January.[13] He made his debut three days later, helping Peterborough secure a 1–1 draw away to Ipswich Town.[14] He scored his first goal on 22 December in a 5–4 win against Bolton Wanderers.[15]

Return to West Brom

On 28 December 2012, West Brom manager Steve Clarke recalled Thorne from Peterborough.[16] Two days later, Thorne started in central midfield in a Premier League clash with Manchester United.[17] His performance on return was noted for his energy and efficient passing.[citation needed]

On 1 February 2013 it was announced that Thorne would be out for six to eight months with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, a couple of days after he suffered the injury against Everton in a 2–1 loss away before half-time.[citation needed]

Watford (loan)

On 6 November 2013, Thorne went out on loan to Watford until 2 January 2014.[18]

Derby County (loan)

On 30 January 2014, Thorne went out on loan to Derby County for the remainder of the 2013–14 season.[19] Thorne's first appearance for Derby County came in their 5–0 win against rivals Nottingham Forest in March 2014.[20] He scored his first goal for Derby against Doncaster on 18 April 2014.[21] He played his final game of the loan spell for the Rams in the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley, where his side lost 1–0 to QPR.[22]

Derby County

On 18 July 2014, Derby County agreed a fee with West Bromwich Albion for Thorne.[23] The following day, after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical, Thorne joined Derby on a four-year contract. It is predicted the fee was between £2.6 million and £3.2 million.

On 22 July 2014, Thorne suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury during a friendly match against Zenit Saint Petersburg and was ruled out of football for up to nine months.[24]

International career

Thorne was called up to England Under-16 on 23 October 2008 for the Victory Shield, in which England had to face Wales U16.[25] He made his England U16 debut, coming on in the 58th minute and making an assist for England.[26] In May 2010, Thorne helped the under-17 team win their first ever European Championship, coming off the bench in the final as England triumphed 2–1 over Spain.[27]
