AFLW career

In 2022 the West Coast Eagles women's team were searching for an injury replacement player for Lauren Walker conducted a talent search resulting in the signing of Hartill. [3] Hartill developed slowly in 2022 before improving in 2023, becoming serviceable in the ruck with 46 hitouts in 2023.
