Mackenzie previously played for Western Sydney Wanderers before joining Sydney FC for three seasons. She went on to have a short spell with Sydney Olympic before returning to Sydney FC last season.

At international level, Mackenzie received call-ups to Australian national team for two friendlies against Spain and Portugal in 2022.

Head coach Melissa Phillips told brightonandhovealbion.com: “We are excited that Mackenzie is joining us. She’s a versatile player and had great success last season with Sydney FC where she played alongside Madison Haley.

“She’s an eager player with a lot of hunger when she’s on the ball and we’re delighted to welcome her to Albion.”
