In 2007 Dorn moved to Salford City Reds, but was less successful and the team was relegated at the end of the season. Dorn then joined the Castleford Tigers in 2008 before returning to London Broncos (now renamed Harlequins) in 2009.[2] In total Dorn played for the London Broncos 160 times in 2 spells, becoming the club's all-time record try scorer with 104 tries.
