She was drafted by Adelaide with their fifth selection and thirty-ninth overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[1] She was named as Adelaide's inaugural co-vice-captain alongside Angela Foley in January 2017.[2] She made her debut in the thirty-six point win against Greater Western Sydney at Thebarton Oval in the opening round of the 2017 season.[3] She was a part of Adelaide's premiership side after the club defeated Brisbane by six points at Metricon Stadium in the AFL Women's Grand Final.[4][5] She played every match in her debut season to finish with eight matches.[6]

Adelaide signed Riley for the 2018 season during the trade period in May 2017.[7] She was picked up by the Suns as a delisted free agent after the 2019 season. Riley played nine games for the Suns before retiring at the conclusion of the 2021 season. A strong leader, Riley was a vice-captain at Adelaide for two seasons and was in the Suns' leadership group across her two years. [8]
