Early and personal life

Club career
Kmita began her career at Tottenham Hotspur but spent time in 2012 playing college soccer with Saint Leo Lions and joined Brighton in December 2013.[2] In 2016, having returned to Tottenham, she decided to leave for a second time to focus on her education. After spending 2016–17 in the lower divisions with Cambridge and Gillingham, she signed for FA WSL 2 club London Bees in August 2017.[3]
In October 2017 Kmita joined West Ham United, linking up again with her twin sister Mollie who had played alongside Rosie at most of her previous clubs.[4] When West Ham were awarded an FA Women's Super League franchise in summer 2018, Kmita was one of only two existing players to be retained and offered a professional contract.[5] On 29 May 2019 West Ham announced that Kmita had departed the club.[6]
In August 2019 Kmita rejoined London Bees in the FA Women's Championship.[7]
