In March 2022 she agreed her return to Adelaide United for the following season, but joined Norwegian Toppserien club LSK Kvinner FK on loan in the meantime.[10]

In March 2026, Worts departed Adelaide United as the joint all-time leading goalscorer, netting the club a record transfer fee.[16] She joined South Korean club Incheon Hyundai Steel Red Angels.[17]
