AFL Women's career

Goring was signed by Geelong prior to the 2018 AFL Women's draft under the league's expansion club signing rules.[3][4] She had previously played for and captained Geelong's side in the lower-tier VFL Women's competition in 2017 and 2018.[5] She made her AFLW debut in a one-point win over Collingwood at GMHBA Stadium in the opening match of the 2019 season.[6] As the club's vice-captain, Goring served as captain during that match, in the absence of injured club captain Melissa Hickey.[5] In June 2021, she was delisted by Geelong.[7]

Goring is a guitarist and singer-songwriter who has performed both as a solo artist and in various bands.[1][2] Additionally, she is the director of the Sweethearts Junior Academy, a music group based in Geelong for young girls.[2]

Since 2022 Goring has been a member of Heavy Moss, a psych-pop band led by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard bassist Lucas Harwood.[8]
