Playing career

London Irish 2001-04

Thrower began his senior career at London Irish, but found first team experience hard to come by making only a single Zurich Premiership start along with a handful of appearances from the bench. Despite this he achieved recognition in appearances for England national age group level teams.

London Wasps 2004-07

Thrower made the short move to London Wasps in 2004 in the search of more top flight experience. In the 2004-05 season he made progress making 8 Zurich Premiership appearance, gaining some goal kicking experience under the pressure of top level domestic competition. There was also further England national age group level exerience.

The following season was less happy, missing the whole of 2005-06 through injury, following a pattern of injury problems that blighted much of his time with Wasps.

Returning for the 2006-07 Guinness Premiership campaign, Thrower made 5 Premiership starts as he had in the 2004-05 season, scoring all four of his Premiership tries for the season in a single game against Bath.

He made his club debut against his old club London Wasps at the start of the 2007-08 Guinness Premiership season on 15 September2007, coming on for a short stint as a replacement during the London Double Header opening to the season. He proceeded to have a series of starts and appearances from the bench, including involvement in all of the first eight games of Saracens' season and scoring two tries.
