West Coast career[]

A Bendigo product, Di Donato went undrafted following her Talent League campaign with the Pioneers and Vic Country and then joined Carlton's VFLW side. She impressed the Blues enough to be made a co-captain for the 2024 VFLW season.

Di Donato was announced as an injury replacement signing in August, with veteran Dana Hooker unavailable due to pregnancy. On being signed, she was described as being renowned for her work ethic, versatility, clean hands and footy IQ.[1]
