Originally named LAFC’s first EVP of Soccer Operations and General Manager on December 8th, 2015, Thorrington led LAFC to immediate on-field success in its first season, as LAFC broke the all-time MLS record in points (57) for an expansion team, clinched the third spot in the Western Conference and reached the semifinals of the 2018 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. LAFC also became the first team in its inaugural season to win seven away matches (since the League instituted ties in 2000). In his first year at the Club, Thorrington built a winner from scratch, acquiring forwards Carlos Vela and Diego Rossi, midfielders Eduard Atuesta, Mark-Anthony Kaye, and Latif Blessing, and traded for the Club’s first-ever captain Laurent Ciman. In 2020, Thorrington would be named LAFC Co-President & General Manager on Aug. 18 following the departure of President Tom Penn. In his third year overseeing the Club’s on-field success, Thorrington and company guided LAFC to the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs for the third consecutive year. Since 2018, the Black & Gold leads the League in total regular-season wins (46) and points (161) and became the first team in MLS history to defeat three Liga MX teams in the 2020 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League en route to an appearance in the CCL Final. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and raised in Palos Verdes Estates, California, Thorrington enjoyed a 17-year playing career that included spells in England, Germany, and Major League Soccer. Thorrington spent time with European clubs Manchester United FC, Bayer Leverkusen, and Huddersfield Town before embarking on a career in MLS with the Chicago Fire, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and D.C. United. Thorrington’s international career included four caps for the U.S. Men’s National Team. He graduated with an MBA with Distinction from Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern
