On 6 February 2024, it was announced that Torpey had joined San Diego Wave FC on a two-year contract. Torpey's move to the NWSL set a new record for the sale of an A-League Women player to a different league;[9] transfer fees in women's football were previously rarely paid in (and out of) Australia, with Torpey's fee considered a new benchmark for the league in the global market. Torpey's fee, of around A$75,000 – representing 10% of the value of the women's transfer record set with the sale of Keira Walsh – was reportedly double the previous Australian outgoing record.[10]
