Early life

Arnold was born and raised on the Gold Coast.[2] She played junior football for Burleigh Heads as well as Robina City[3] and attended Palm Beach Currumbin State High School in her teenage years.[4]

Club career

Canberra United

In 2012, Arnold joined Canberra United from Perth Glory ahead of the 2012–13 W-League.[5]

Western Sydney Wanderers FC

Arnold joined Western Sydney Wanderers in 2013. However, she was later ruled out for a significant amount of the season after suffering a deep cut to the leg in the carpark following a match in the 2013 AFC U-19 Women's Championship.[6]

Perth Glory FC

Arnold returned to Perth Glory in August 2014.[7]

Arnold was approached to switch codes and play Australian rules football in the newly formed AFL Women's in 2016, but chose to remain in soccer.[8]

Brisbane Roar FC

In October 2016, Brisbane Roar announced that they had signed Arnold.[9]

Arna-Bjørnar

In March 2018, she signed with Arna-Bjørnar in the Toppserien.[10]

Chicago Red Stars

In July 2019, she signed for the Chicago Red Stars, in the NWSL, but made no appearances.

West Ham United

On 9 July 2020, Arnold signed for English club West Ham United of the FA Women's Super League where she has been the teams captain since 2023.[11][12] On 18 April 2021, Arnold was handed a surprise 20-minute cameo in midfield during an 11–0 win over Chichester & Selsey in the fourth round of the Women's FA Cup.[13]

In May 2024, she was voted Women's Hammer of the Year by West Ham United supporters for the 2023–24 season.[14]

International career

Arnold received her first call-up to the Australian national team for a tour of the United States in 2012.[15] She made her debut in November that year, keeping a clean sheet in a win over Chinese Taipei in the 2013 EAFF Women's East Asian Cup preliminary round 2.[16] She soon began to feature regularly in national squads in 2013, with previous incumbent goalkeepers Melissa Barbieri and Lydia Williams unavailable.[17] Following their returns, Arnold was not included in the national setup for some time, before returning for the 2015 Cyprus Cup in March 2015.[18]

Mackenzie was included as one of three goalkeepers in the Matildas squad for the 2015 World Cup in Canada.[19]

Arnold was selected in the Australia squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics as one of two goalkeepers in the squad along with Lydia Williams.[20] She played one match in the tournament, a group stage win over Zimbabwe.[21]

Arnold was named to the Matildas squad for the 2019 World Cup in France.[22]

Arnold was a member of the Matildas Tokyo 2020 Olympics squad. The Matildas qualified for the quarter-finals and beat Great Britain before being eliminated in the semi-final with Sweden. In the playoff for the Bronze medal they were beaten by the USA.[23]

Arnold is a member of the Matildas 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup squad, goalkeeping for all of Australia's Group B matches. She was named player of the match after saving three spot kicks in the quarter-final penalty shoot out to see the Matildas progress to the final four for the first time.[24][25] This led to many internet memes praising her performance, with some online describing her as the "Brick Wall" and the "Minister for Defence".[26] Other nicknames she has been given include "Macca"[26] and "Kenz".[27]

Personal life

Arnold has been dating fellow West Ham player Kirsty Smith[28] since 2022. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Arnold discovered she has significant hearing loss and she now wears hearing aids off the pitch.[24] She is also a supporter of the Brisbane Broncos.
