AFLW career

Saad was recruited by North Melbourne in January 2020 as a replacement for Jess Duffin who missed the 2020 season through pregnancy.[1] She made her debut against Melbourne at Casey Fields in the opening round of the 2020 season.[2]

Saad was traded to Gold Coast alongside pick 30 in exchange for pick 19 in the late stages of the 2021 trade period, on 9 June 2021.[3] She missed much of the 2024 season with a ruptured Achilles tendon.[4]

She was delisted at the end of 2024 after 27 games for Gold Coast and signed as a free agent for Greater Western Sydney.[4] She played one game for GWS and was delisted after a single season at the club.[5]

After leaving the Giants, she signed for the Craigieburn Eagles in the Big V Division One basketball competition.[6]
