Considine was drafted by Adelaide as a rookie signing after previously playing ladies' Gaelic football and camogie for County Clare in Ireland. She made her debut in the one point loss to the Western Bulldogs at Norwood Oval in the opening round of the 2019 season. She was the first Irish female to become a Premiership Player with the Adelaide Crows in 2019 when they defeated Carlton in the grand final at a full capacity Adelaide Oval. In December 2022, Adelaide delisted Considine after she was on the injury list all of AFL Women's season seven.
She joined North Melbourne ahead of the 2023 season as a replacement player for fellow Irishwoman Vikki Wall. After playing one game for the club, she retired at the end of the season.
