While still at school and college, Woeller played for Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Seattle Sounders in the W-League [2] [3] In the spring of 2014, she left North America and signed with Norwegian Toppserien club IK Grand Bodø. [4] In 2015, she went to play at Stjarnan, at Iceland top-tier league. On January 26, 2017, Woeller signed up with FF USV Jena, where she replaced countrywoman Rachel Melhado, after more than a year without a club. [5]

After FF USV Jena was relegated from the Frauen-Bundesliga following their last place finish in the 2017–2018 season, Woeller announced she was joining Eskilstuna United DFF in the Damallsvenskan in Sweden. [6]

Woeller was announced as the first signing to Northern Super League's Vancouver Rise for the league's inaugural 2025 season. [7]

International career

Woeller was 15 years old, when she was called for coach Lewis Page to a Canadian U15 camp. In 2008, she was part of the team that won the 2008 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship in Mexico. In the same year, Woeller was included in the 21-players squad that represented Canada at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. On March 7, 2009 she made her debut for Canadian senior team in a match against Netherlands at the 2009 Cyprus Cup. In 2010, Woeller was part of the group that played at 2010 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship and finished fourth, failing to qualify for the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Germany.
