Rugby career

Caslick plays for The Tribe at a club level and in 2013, after graduating from high school, she debuted for Australia. By December 2015, she had earned 13 caps, scoring 31 tries in that two-year period.[8] Caslick has been described as "the best women's rugby sevens player on the planet."[9] and "a key member of the Australian Women's Rugby Sevens team that is eyeing gold at [2016's] Rio Olympics."[10]

Caslick is a dual international having represented her country at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival and 2013 Rugby Sevens World Cup as well as playing for Touch Football Australia at both age-grade and open levels. She was named in World Rugby's 2014–15 Team of the Season after another stellar season and one of four players nominated for the 2015 World Sevens Player of the Year. Charlotte was also voted player of the tournament in the Australian Nationals. Representative Honours include Touch Football Australia, Australian Youth Olympic Festival (2013) and Queensland.[11] She was a member of Australia's team at the 2016 Olympics, defeating New Zealand in the final to win the inaugural Olympic gold medal in the sport.[12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]

In October 2016, Caslick was named as Australia's women's sevens player of the year.[19] [20] [21]

Caslick was named in the Australia squad for the Rugby sevens at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[22] The team came second in the pool round but then lost to Fiji 14–12 in the quarterfinals.[23]

In 2024, She was chosen to lead the Australian sevens side for the Summer Olympics in Paris.[24] [25]

Rugby league

In 2020, with the suspension of the World Rugby Women's Sevens Series and Tokyo Olympics due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Caslick made the switch to rugby league, joining the Sydney Roosters in the NRL Women's Premiership.[26] A North Queensland Cowboys fan, she opted to join the Roosters over the Brisbane Broncos, the Cowboys' arch-rivals.[27]

In Round 1 of the 2020 NRL Women's season, Caslick made her debut the Roosters, starting at and running for 163 metres in a 18–4 win over the St George Illawarra Dragons.[28] A week later, in the Roosters' 22–12 Round 2 win over the New Zealand Warriors, Caslick sustained two small factures to her spine, ruling her out for the rest of the NRLW season.[29]
