Playing career
Orpe played for Stafford Rangers, Stoke and Hanley, before joining Second Division side Port Vale, initially on a trial basis, in November 1922. He scored on his debut, in a 2–0 win over Stockport County at Edgeley Park on 9 December. Seven days later he went on to score in a 2–0 win over Crystal Palace at The Old Recreation Ground. He fell out of favour in January 1923, as the man Opre replaced, Billy Harrison, was given another chance on the wing. Opre then developed cartilage problems and was released, most likely at the end of the 1922–23 season. He moved on to Cheadle New Haden.
