Club career

[edit]

Ter Leede

[edit]

Reichardt played for Ter Leede at the same time she played for ADO Den Haag, winning the championship with the club.[1]

ADO Den Haag

[edit]

Reichardt made her league debut against Twente on 1 October 2009.[2] She scored her first league goal against Willem II on 5 May 2011, scoring in the 90th+2nd minute.[3] Reichardt brought a successful six-year spell with ADO Den Haag to an end in summer 2014, because she wanted to complete her psychology studies and she had a persistent Achilles tendon injury. Two years later she found a doctor who performed surgery allowing her to return to top level football. Instead of rejoining ADO Den Haag, she signed for her girlhood club AFC Ajax.[4]

Ajax

[edit]

Reichardt made her league debut against Achilles '29 on 18 November 2016.[5] She scored her first league goal against VV Alkmaar on 23 December 2016, scoring in the 79th minute.[6]

West Ham

[edit]

In July 2018, Reichardt transferred to West Ham United from Ajax.[7] She made her league debut against Reading on 19 September 2018.[8] Reichardt was part of the squad that reached the final of the 2018–19 FA Women's Cup, where she was an unused substitute.[9] On 7 May 2019, she announced her decision to retire from football at the end of the FA WSL season, aged 28, in order to pursue a career as a psychologist.[10] In her final professional match Reichardt stood in as West Ham's captain, but the team were beaten 4–0 by Brighton.[11]
