Early life
Rachel began playing football at the age of five with San Gwann Football Nursery. She trained up to the age of 13 with the boys' team being the only girl within such age group. San Gwann Football Nursery does not have a ladies football team and her development could not progress any further due to restrictions in place within the maltese footballing authorities that, although she was still a minor she could not play competitive games. Birkirkara became aware of her potential and signed her.

Within a few months of joining B'kara Football Club, Rachel was playing with the Birkirkara first team at the age of 13.
During the summer of 2014, she became the first Maltese female professional footballer to play outside Malta, when she signed for Cypriot side Apollon Limassol.
