Career

Burgess was raised in Campbelltown and began her career in the National Soccer League during the 1999-2000 season where she played for the NSW Sapphires.[1]

W-league

Burgess joined Sydney FC in the inaugural W-League season. Following that one year stint, Burgess joined Brisbane Roar FC for 5 years, where she played on the wing.[2]

During her time at Brisbane she played in 4 grand finals in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014, winning in 2011.[3] After the 2014 W-League Grand Final, Burgess retired from professional soccer.[4][5]

Return from retirement

In 2016, Burgess came out of retirement to play for Western Sydney Wanderers[6] as a more experienced player who could help a team that was consistently at the bottom of the table.[7] Burgess was particularly excited to play for the Wanderers as she grew up in Western Sydney.[8][9] She retired a second time after one season with the Wanderers.

National team

Burgess represented Australia 40 times over her career. Her career highlights include playing in the 2006 AFC Women's Asian Cup and the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup.[10]
