In June 2018, Studdon was announced as one of the fifteen marquee signings by the Sydney Roosters women's team.[5] Later that year, she played for the Wests Tigers women's team in the inaugural NRL Touch Premiership, which they won.[6][7]

In Round 1 of the 2018 NRL Women's Premiership, Studdon made her debut for the Sydney Roosters, starting at halfback in their 10–4 loss to the New Zealand Warriors.[8]

On 14 June 2019, she signed with the St George Illawarra Dragons for the 2019 NRL Women's season.[9]
