Club career
At the annual Westfield W-League awards dinner in 2009, Kellond-Knight was jointly awarded the Young Player of the Year Award with Canberra United's Ellyse Perry.[3]
After leaving 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam at the end of 2017, Kellond-Knight was hoping to join the Reign FC in the NWSL, however a discovery claim by the North Carolina Courage prevented her from joining the Reign.[4] In April 2018, she signed a short term deal with Hammarby in the Damallsvenskan. In June she extended her contract through the end of the season.[5]
Kellond-Knight signed with Melbourne City for the 2018–19 W-League season.[6]
Reign FC announced on September 24, 2018 that Kellond-Knight had signed with them for the 2019 NWSL season.[7]
On July 15, 2019, Kellond-Knight was traded to Washington Spirit in exchange for Sammy Jo Prudhomme.[8] On October 26, 2019, Kellond-Knight returned to Brisbane Roar.[9]
International career
For her performances at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup and 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Kellond-Knight was named as part of the All Star Teams for both tournaments.[10]
On October 9, 2018, Kellond-Knight earned her 100th cap for Australia in a friendly against England, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[11]
At the 2019 Women's World Cup, she scored a goal directly from a corner kick in the Round of 16 match against Norway.[12]
