In May 2025, it was announced that Rusek would join German club 1. FC Nürnberg [6] [7] , and she started in goal for them in the 2025–26 Frauen-Bundesliga up to matchday 14. After half a season in Germany, she moved to Italian Serie A side Juventus in January 2026, signing a contract until 30 June 2028 [8] [9] [10] [11] .

Rusek made 15 appearances for Austria's under-17 national team between 2020 and 2022 and 21 for the under-19s between 2022 and 2024 [12] . She was also part of Austria's squad for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Colombia. [13] [14]
