Now back in Australia for her second season with Roar, Pickett has cemented herself a league favourite with her attacking ability despite being a defender and her inch perfect corners.

She helped her side a 1-1 draw against Perth Glory in the opening round of the W-League season when she scored the equalising goal. 

"I almost didn't know how to celebrate, I may have gotten a little excited but it's nice to be back and start on a good foot," Pickett said.

At first, you would never know Pickett was any different to another player on the pitch, however, the 25-year-old has amniotic band syndrome, meaning she was born without a left forearm and hand. 

But she hasn't let it hold her back.

In an interview with Golden Time in 2016, Pickett spoke about how at just six months old she was admitted to a children's hospital under a prosthetic specialist. 

The doctor tried three different types of prostheses on her but she gestured in complainant about the doctor attaching things to her body. The doctor wanted Pickett to crawl with the help of the prosthetic arm so she did but first she removed the artificial arm and then started crawling across the floor.

Pickett was destined to be a professional athlete from a young age after all her father played college football before being drafted for a professional team and her mother played college basketball but Pickett was also determined and passionate. 

"When I was growing up I wasn't allowed to say the word 'can't' or 'no' and not back down to a challenge...no and can't were like a cuss word in my family," Pickett said.

"I think that's what drove me to never give up or quit because I knew that I would let myself down and my parents," she said.

Talented in a number of sports from swimming to tennis, it was football were her athletic talent shown through. She would pass the ball around with her dad from a young age and from there the game would take over the family.
