Early life

From Wynyard, Tasmania, Haines grew up playing basketball with her identical twin sister Libby. They were both introduced to football through a clinic administered by the Burnie Dockers at their school Hellyer College when they were in year 10.[1] Both sisters were included in the 2018 AFLW Academy, which allowed them to train with AFLW clubs and attend development camps.[2] [3] They played for their state at the 2018 AFL Women's Under 18 Championships and later competed in the Eastern Allies team. Both sisters played in a VFL Women's match for Melbourne University – Chloe amassed 12 disposals, five marks and five tackles.[4]

Haines was drafted by North Melbourne with pick 55 in the 2018 national draft, together with her sister, Libby.[5] She made her debut against the Western Bulldogs in round 3 of the 2019 season. Haines was re-signed for the 2020 season.[6] [7] In June 2020, Haines was delisted by North Melbourne, along with her sister, Libby.[8]
