Early life[]
Born on the Gold Coast,[2] Arnold attended Palm Beach Currumbin High School.[3]
Club career[]
In 2012, Arnold joined Canberra United from Perth Glory ahead of the 2012–13 W-League.[4]
Arnold joined Western Sydney Wanderers in 2013. However, she was later ruled out for a significant amount of the season after suffering a deep cut to the leg in the carpark following a match in the 2013 AFC U-19 Women's Championship.[5]
Arnold returned to Perth Glory in August 2014.[6]
Arnold was approached to switch codes and play Australian rules football in the newly formed AFL Women's in 2016, but chose to remain in soccer.[7]
In October 2016, Brisbane Roar announced that they had signed Arnold.[8]
In March 2018, she signed with Arna-Bjørnar in the Toppserien.[9]
In July 2019, she played for the Chicago Red Stars, in the NWSL.
On 9 July 2020, Arnold signed for English club West Ham United of the FA Women's Super League.[10] On 18 April 2021, Arnold was handed a surprise 20-minute cameo in midfield during an 11-0 win over Chichester & Selsey in the fourth round of the Women's FA Cup.[11]
International career[]
Arnold received her first call-up to the Australian national team for a tour of the United States in 2012.[12] She made her debut in November that year, keeping a clean sheet in a win over Chinese Taipei in the 2013 EAFF Women's East Asian Cup preliminary round 2.[13] She soon began to feature regularly in national squads in 2013, with previous incumbent goalkeepers Melissa Barbieri and Lydia Williams unavailable.[14] Following their returns, Arnold was not included in the national setup for some time, before returning for the 2015 Cyprus Cup in March 2015.[15]
Mackenzie was included as one of three goalkeepers in the Matildas squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.[16]
