Rankin was born and grew up in Geelong, Victoria before moving to Gold Coast, Queensland.[1] A basketballer with the Gold Coast Rollers in the Queensland Basketball League,[2] Rankin switched to football in 2018 and was part of the inaugural Surfers Paradise women's team.[1] She was then recruited by Geelong as a cross-code rookie prior to the club's inaugural season in the AFLW,[2] and made her AFLW debut during the first round of the 2019 season, against Collingwood at GMHBA Stadium.[3]
Rankin's great-great-grandfather, Teddy, as well as three of his sons Cliff, Doug and Bert, all played for Geelong in the then Victorian Football League (VFL).[4]
