During a match against Brazil in the 2016 Olympics, a moment of Kellond-Knight and her teammate Lisa De Vanna went viral when during a short break, De Vanna absentmindedly tried to drink from the wrong end of a water bottle, prompting Kellond-Knight to quickly flip it in her hand.

At the 2019 Women's World Cup, she scored a goal directly from a corner kick in the Round of 16 match against Norway. [18]
