Early life


D'Arcy grew up in Townsville and attended The Cathedral School throughout her upbringing.[1] Her first sporting interests were split between rugby and soccer but her mother forced her to begin playing Australian rules football for the first time in 2017.[2] A talented junior athlete, she represented Queensland in Australian rules football, cricket, rugby sevens and soccer.[3] In 2020, D'Arcy elected to pursue Australian football "because it is a bit of a mix of those other sports" and moved to the Gold Coast to take part in the Suns' academy program on a full-time basis.[4]


AFLW career


At 17 years of age, D'Arcy was drafted to the Gold Coast Suns with pick 60 in the 2020 AFL Women's draft.[5] She became the youngest AFLW player at 18 years and 49 days when she debuted for the Suns in Round 1 of the 2021 AFLW season.[6] It was revealed D'Arcy signed a two year contract extension with Gold Coast on 10 June 2021.[7]
