Club career

A product of the Canberra United Academy program, Lincoln joined Canberra United for the 2021–22 A-League Women season as scholarship player before being elevated to the senior playing group partway through the season. [11] [12] She had played 20 games for the academy by mid-2022. [12]

Lincoln made her Canberra United seniors debut at 17 years of age as a 73rd-minute substitute against Perth Glory on 5 February 2022 after starting goalkeeper Keeley Richards had a knee injury. [13] Her first starting appearance for Canberra United was against Wellington Phoenix a week later.

Lincoln was given a red card and sent off for the first time in her career in the 50th minute of Canberra United's 2–0 loss to Melbourne Victory on 16 December 2023. [14] [15] Anna Harrington for Australian Associated Press (AAP) observed, "[Lincoln] was rounded by Rachel Lowe and needlessly brought down the Victory playmaker just outside the 18-yard box." [16]

On 31 May 2024, Lincoln confirmed her departure from Canberra United. [17] [18] Over her 39 matches for Canberra, from 2021-22 to 2023-24, she kept 9  clean sheets. [3]

Lincoln, as a member of Australia women's national under-20 soccer team (Young Matildas), played at the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, the 2024 AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup and the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. [23] In August 2025 she was selected for the Australia U-23 squad, which competed against senior national teams in the 2025 ASEAN Women's Championship. [24] Her team won 1–0 in the final against two-time champions Myanmar. [24]

Lincoln received her first senior call-up for Australia's Matildas on 11 October 2024. [10] [25] She debuted on 7 December 2024, coming on as a 65th-minute substitute for Mackenzie Arnold against Chinese Taipei in an international friendly in Geelong in an eventual 6–0 win, becoming the first goalkeeper to debut for Australia since Teagan Micah in 2021. [26] [27] Lincoln acknowledged Arnold's assistance during their earlier training camps, "she has been really good at helping me get through [making mistakes] and pushing me to be better." [10]
