Club career

Macintyre started playing soccer at the age of 6 with the local club Kotara Bears. Six years later she joined Newcastle Jets' Emerging Jets program. In 2012, she debuted in the W-League for the Newcastle Jets senior team at the age of 16. [1]

Macintyre missed the 2015–16 W-League season due to injury. [2] Upon her return to play during the first round of the 2016–17 W-League season, she switched from playing as an attacker to playing as a defender, tagging Melbourne City's left-back Steph Catley, performing very well to draw praise from her coach, Craig Deans. [3] Despite her great performances over the season, following a knee reconstruction, Macintyre didn't re-sign with the Newcastle Jets. [4]

As well as playing at the senior level, Macintyre also represented Merewether United of the Women's Premier League during the 2017 season. [5]

International career

Macintyre was selected in 2009 by the Australian under-14 team, firstly as part of a training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, [6] and subsequently as part of the squad selected to play in the Asian Football Confederation Under-14 Girls Festival of Football in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. [7] In 2011, she was selected by the Australian under-17 team for their New Zealand tour. [1] Two years later she was selected by the Australian under-20 team to participate in the 2013 AFC U-19 Women's Championship in China. [8] She started one game in the tournament, in Australia's only victory, which was against Myanmar. [9]

Style of play

Macintyre started out playing as a forward and later converted to a defender position. She is a versatile player, who controls one-on-one situations and has a powerful shot. [1]

Personal life

Macintyre studied occupational therapy at the University of Newcastle, while working as a nanny and a support worker. [10]
