Early life

Club career

Australia

For the 2018–19 season, Baisden moved to Australia to play for Morton Bay United in the National Premier League where she scored 33 goals in 23 games.[3]

Due to her form Baisden was named in the league's team of the season, was nominated for player of the year and participated in Morton Bay's maiden grand final appearance.[4]

On the back of this form Baisden was drafted by Brisbane Roar ahead of the 2019–20 W-League season. Baisden admitted that she did not expect to be offered the contract.[5]

She debuted in Brisbane's first game of the 2019–20 season against Melbourne Victory, and scored her first goal in the W-league in their next match, a 3–1 loss to Western Sydney Wanderers.

On 31 January 2023, Baisden suffered a long-term ACL injury whilst playing against Melbourne Victory, ruling her out for the rest of the season.[6][7] As of the start of the 2023–24 A-League Women season, she has not yet re-signed with Glory nor joined another club as she continues her recovery.[8]
