Club Career

Everton/Stockport County (loan)

Thorniley began playing football at Rope and Anchor, where he played from U16 to U11 side.[3] He then joined Everton at the age of 10 and progressed through the ranks of the Everton youth academy.[4] While at the academy, Thorniley captained Everton Under-18s side and helped the side win the Premier League title for the second time in a row.[5]

At the end of the 2014-15 season, Thorniley was offered a new contract, leading him to turning professional in July 2015.[3][6] Shortly after signing a professional contract with Everton, He moved on loan to Stockport County that same month.[4] He made his Stockport County debut on 10 August 2015, where he played 90 minutes, in a 2-1 win over Boston United.[7] Thorniley went on to make 10 appearances for the side before returning to his parent club in October 2015.[8]

After his loan spell at Stockport County came to an end, Thorniley then featured for the U21 side for the remainder of the season.[9] At the end of the 2015-16 season, Thorniley was released by the club.[10]

Sheffield Wednesday

After being released by Everton, Thorniley signed for Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in July 2016,[11]

Although he first appeared as unused substitute for the match against Cambridge United, which they lost 2-1 at extra time in the first round of the League Cup, Thorniley spent the most of the 2016-17 season, playing for the side.[12] He then was featured under Carlos Carvalhal throughout the pre-season ahead of the 2017-18 season.[13]

Shortly after his loan spell at Accrington Stanley came to an end, Thorniley appeared as an unused substitute in a 0-0 draw against rival's Sheffield United on 12 January 2018.[14] He then made his Sheffield Wednesday debut, where he started alongside Frederico Venâncio and Daniel Pudil in a three-man defence, in a 0-0 draw against Cardiff City on 20 January 2018.[15] After the match, his debut performance was praised by Manager Jos Luhukay.[16] Thorniley was then given a handful of first team opportunities for the next five matches.[17] As a result, on 15 February 2018, Thorniley signed a new contract with the club, keeping him until 2021.[18] However, in a 2-1 loss against Millwall on 20 February 2018, Thorniley collided with Jed Wallace in the lead up to the Lions’ second goal, leading him to be taken off on a stretcher and was substituted as a result.[19] After treatment at the hospital, it was concluded that Thorniley's injury was not as serious as first feared.[20]

Loan Spell at Accrington Stanley

On 29 August 2017, Thorniley was loaned out to League Two side Accrington Stanley until January.[21]

Thorniley made his Accrington Stanley debut, where he started the whole game in the left-back position, in a 2-1 win over Morecambe on 2 September 2017.[22] Since making his debut for the club, he quickly established himself in the starting eleven, where he played in the left-back position.[23]

He continued starting the side until he suffered an injury in late-December.[24] As result, Thorniley returned to his parent club on 4 January 2018.[25]
