Playing career

PWHL

After going undrafted in the 2024 PWHL draft, Kluge was invited to the Toronto Sceptres' training camp. [4] She was not offered a contract following the camp, due in part to a commitment to the German military. [5] Kluge signed a 1-year contract with the Sceptres on 10 February 2025, following an injury to Sarah Nurse. [6]
