[edit]

Bennetts was signed by Greater Western Sydney as a rookie signing in May 2017 after never previously having played competitive football.[1] She was promoted to the Greater Western Sydney's main playing list following an injury to Alex Saundry[2] and subsequently made her debut in the six point loss to Melbourne at Casey Fields in the opening round of the 2018 season.[3]

In June 2021, Bennetts was traded to the Western Bulldogs in exchange for pick no. 28.[4] She was given the #11 guernsey.[5]
