Playing career
PWHL
After going undrafted in the 2024 PWHL draft, Kluge was invited to the Toronto Sceptres' training camp.[3] She was not offered a contract following the camp, due in part to a commitment to the German military.[4] Kluge signed a one-year contract with the Sceptres on 10 February 2025, following an injury to Sarah Nurse.[5] On 20 June 2025, she signed a one-year contract with the Boston Fleet.[6]
