Early life

Club career
In 2012, Arnold joined Canberra United from Perth Glory ahead of the 2012–13 W-League.
Arnold joined Western Sydney Wanderers in 2013. However, she was later ruled out for a significant amount of the season after suffering a deep cut to the leg in the carpark following a match in the 2013 AFC U-19 Women's Championship.
Arnold returned to Perth Glory in September 2014.
Arnold was approached to switch codes and play Australian rules football in the newly formed AFL Women's in 2016, but chose to remain in soccer.
In October 2016, Brisbane Roar announced that they had signed Arnold.
International career
Arnold was first selected for the Australian national team for a 2012 tour in the United States. Her inaugural appearance came in November of the same year, where she achieved a clean sheet during a victory against Chinese Taipei in the preliminary round 2 of the 2013 EAFF Women's East Asian Cup. She soon began to feature regularly in national squads in 2013, with previous incumbent goalkeepers Melissa Barbieri and Lydia Williams unavailable. Following their returns, Arnold was not included in the national setup for some time, before returning for the 2015 Cyprus Cup in March 2015.
Mackenzie was included as one of three goalkeepers in the Matildas squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.
Arnold was selected in the Australia squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics as one of two goalkeepers in the squad along with Lydia Williams. She played one match in the tournament, a group stage win over Zimbabwe.
