Sydney FC
With the announcement that the Central Coast Mariners would not field a women's team in the 2010–11 W-League season, Foord, along with fellow Mariners players Teresa Polias, Lydia Vandenbergh, and Renee Rollason, all switched to nearby club, Sydney FC.[3]
Sky Blue FC
In March 2013, it was announced that Foord had signed with American team, Sky Blue FC, for the inaugural season of the NWSL.[4][5]

On 15 December 2017, Foord returned to Sydney FC, coming straight into the match squad of the day.[12]
Portland Thorns
On 11 January 2018, Foord's rights in the NWSL were traded from Sky Blue to Seattle Reign FC for two other players. The rights were subsequently traded to the Portland Thorns FC along with a 2020 NWSL 2nd Round draft pick in exchange for US international midfielder Allie Long.[13] Foord indicated that she would indeed be playing with the Thorns.[14]
International career
Foord assisted the Australian Westfield U16 Women's team to progress through to the AFC U17 Women's Championship undefeated by scoring a hat-trick in a match against the Philippines.[15]

In June–July 2011, Foord competed at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany. Foord started in two of the three group matches from right back, missing out on game two versus Equatorial Guinea. Foord then started from right midfield in the quarter-final game against Sweden, before showing off her quick pace down the right flank when reverting to the full-back position after Elyse Perry was substituted for Tameka Butt in the 59th minute. The Matildas were eliminated from the competition after losing this match 3–1. Foord was given the "Best Young Player" award for the tournament.[18]
