Club career

Torp started playing football in Lemvig, northwest Jutland, on the banks of the Limfjord when he joined Lemvig GF. Later he was scouted to the youth team of Midtjylland.



Fredericia (loans)

Shortly before his 19th birthday, Torp and his two teammates Sebastian Buch Jensen and Henry Uzochukwu were sent on loan to the second division club Fredericia.
On 29 July 2018, he made his senior debut when he was in the starting line-up in the 3–2 defeat at Næstved, in which he scored a goal in the 37th minute for the temporary 2–1 lead. In the first half of the season, Torp, mostly used as a right midfielder, was utilised in every game, but in the training camp before the start of the second half of the season he suffered an abdominal injury and then fell out because of an inflammation in the lower part of the abdomen around the pubic bone.
His loan deal then expired and he returned to Midtjylland. However, Torp did not make a competitive appearance for Midtjylland. In January 2020, he was sent on loan again to Fredericia. After he had recovered, Torp played regularly and was used in all games.



Lyngby (loan)

After his loan expired, he returned to Midtjylland, but was then loaned out once again, this time to league rivals Lyngby. Mostly playing as a central midfielder, Torp quickly became a starter for the relegation candidate. On 1 December 2020, he scored his first goal in the Danish Superliga in a 2–2 away draw against Copenhagen.
He suffered relegation to the Danish 1st Division with the club on 9 May 2021 after a loss to last placed Horsens, before returning to Midtjylland.



Kortrijk (loan)

On 31 August 2021, Torp was loaned out to Belgian First Division A club Kortrijk for the 2021–22 season.

On 8 June 2022, 22-year old Torp signed a three-year deal with Norwegian Eliteserien club Sarpsborg 08. Torp scored on his league debut against Strømsgodset on 7 August, his team's only goal in a 3–1 away loss. The club concluded the season in eight place, and Torp played as a starter in the second half of the season, contributing with two goals in 13 appearances.
Torp emerged as a pivotal figure in the midfield for Sarpsborg in the subsequent season, registering seven goals in 33 overall appearances. Among these, he started in 30 matches, contributing significantly to the team's eighth-place finish in the league table.

On 11 January 2024, Torp officially signed a four-and-a-half-year deal for £2 million with EFL Championship club Coventry City. His transfer was contingent upon receiving international clearance.
