Armitstead won the 2015 NTFL Women's Rising Star Award playing for Wanderers,[1] but her career before the AFLW was soured by knee injuries, as she injured her ACL in 2012 and tore her meniscus in 2015, both in the same knee.[2]
AFLW career (2017–18)edit
Armitstead was drafted by Adelaide with their seventh selection and fifty-fifth overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[3] She made her debut in the twenty-five point win against the Western Bulldogs at VU Whitten Oval in round two of the 2017 season,[4] but she tore her meniscus in her left knee during the match, which forced her to miss the remainder of the season.[1][5] Due to her knee injury, the club announced in May that she was not offered a contract for the 2018 season,[6] however in October it was announced that she would return to the club for the 2018 season under free agency rules.[7] She was delisted again by Adelaide at the end of the 2018 season.[8]
