Career
From Stevenage, Lathrope began his youth career at Cambridge United, though moved on to Norwich City's academy in 2006–07.[1]
Before making his professional debut, he scored twice for the first team in friendly matches, the first in a benefit match for former Norwich player Shaun Carey, versus Carey's King's Lynn teammates in October 2006.[1] When Norwich then revisited King's Lynn for a pre-season friendly in July 2007, Lathrope repeated the trick with another goal.[1]
Lathrope signed a professional contract with the Canaries in January 2008 and was given a squad number of 36.[1][2] In November 2009 he joined Conference South club Bishop's Stortford on a two-month loan.[2][3] In May 2010 he was released by the Canaries,[4] and signed with Torquay United in July 2010.[2]
He made his debut for the club on 11 August 2010, coming on as a 112th minute substitute for Danny Stevens in their League Cup First Round defeat to Reading at Plainmoor.[5] Having failed to establish himself in the 2010–11 season, Lathrope claimed his place in the side under the new regime of Martin Ling, following a formation change to 4–5–1 which saw Lathrope employed in a holding role in front of the back four.
He joined Hereford United on a one-month loan on 12 November 2013 making his debut the same day in a 2–2 draw with Chester.[6]
After turning down a new contract with Torquay Lathorpe signed for Conference Premier team Aldershot Town on 1 July 2014.[7]
