Gaelic football career
Bogue is originally a Fermanagh GAA player, who was a member of the team that won the 2020 All-Ireland Junior Ladies' Football Championship.[2] She continues to represent her home county during the AFL Women's off-seasons.
Australian football career
Recruited to North Melbourne in 2023, she played her first match North Melbourne in round one against Geelong in the 2025 AFL Women's season,[3] and was selected in the All-Australian team for that year.[4] She also led the eventual premiers in goalkicking, finding such form that teammate Emma King was kept out of the undefeated North Melbourne team for a portion of the 2026 season.[5] Following a three-goal performance in the preliminary final against Melbourne, Bogue became a premiership player in her debut season when the Kangaroos defeated Brisbane in the 2025 Grand Final.[6]
