She eventually progressed to the club's senior team in the West Australian Women's Football League (WAWFL).[2] In 2013, Frederick-Traub captained an Australian youth girls team on a tour of New Zealand.[3] She switched to South Fremantle for the 2014 WAWFL season, and in 2015 and 2016 played in exhibition matches for Melbourne against the Western Bulldogs. She kicked three goals in the latter game.[4]

On 17 May 2017, Brisbane announced they had signed Frederick-Traub for the 2018 season.[9]

Frederick-Traub was listed in the 2017 and 2018 All-Australian team.[10][11]
