Early life
Roux lived in Dongara in the Mid West region of Western Australia until she was unable to play football in girls teams, so her family moved back to Perth and she played for East Fremantle in the West Australian Women's Football League (WAWFL).[1]
AFL Women's career
Fremantle (2020–2023)
Roux was drafted by Fremantle with their first selection, 12th overall, in the 2019 AFL Women's draft.[2] Roux debuted against Geelong in Round 1 of 2020, kicking a goal and leaving her mark with a crunching tackle.[3] She received both a Rising Star nomination and a Mark of the Year nomination the next week, kicking two goals in the first AFLW Western Derby.
West Coast (2024–present)
Following the 2023 AFLW season, Roux requested a trade to cross-town rivals West Coast.[4] She was traded on the 7th of December 2023, with the Dockers receiving Aisling McCarthy and picks also being swapped in the trade.[5]
