Club career

Green signed for Sydney FC in Australia's top soccer league, W-League for the 2017-18 season but endured a severe ankle injury and did not play during the season.[1] During the 2018–19 season, Green played in eight games for Sydney FC.[2] The club finished in third place during the regular season and earned a berth to the finals series.[3] Green was the starting left-back defender for the semi-final match against Brisbane Roar and helped Sydney win 2–1 and advance to the 2019 W-League Grand Final.[4] She played every minute of the Final helping lift the team to a 4–2 championship win against Perth Glory.[5][6][7]

During the 2019–20 W-League season, Green made ten appearances with eight starts.[2] Sydney FC finished in third place earning a berth to the Finals.[8] ESPN described Green's performance in the semi-final against Melbourne Victory: "Green showed the kind of grit that allowed Sydney to withstand a second-half Victory onslaught. She now heads into her third consecutive Grand Final with the club that gave her the first taste of professional football, and at just 22 years old, it's easy to see the potential for bigger and better things to come."[9] During the 2020 W-League Grand Final, Green made a "brilliant cross-field ball" to Veronica Latsko. Sydney FC were narrowly defeated 1–0 by four-time champions Melbourne City FC.[10]

International career

Green represented Australia on the under-20 national team at the 2016 AFF Women's Championship where she scored a hat-trick against Timor-Leste.[11]
