Webster was drafted by Geelong prior to their inaugural AFLW season in 2019, after playing with the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup and Melbourne University’s VFLW team.  

Taking no time to make her mark, the young midfielder made her debut in the opening round of the 2019 season against Collingwood at GMHBA Stadium.

Webster was selected to the AFLPA’s 22Under22 team twice early in her career, emerging as a leader for Geelong both on and off the field while displaying her potential through the middle.

Cats teammate Mikayla Bowen spoke about Webster during the week, describing the incredible impact she has both on and off the field.

"She means absolutely everything, you will get different answers from every player but they will all be along the lines of how incredible Becky is,” Bowen told Cats Media.
