Her successful cricket career was established and maintained despite an ongoing battle with anorexia nervosa and other mental health issues which prompted a premature, albeit temporary, retirement from the game in 2017.

On 7 November 2009, Coyte made her WNCL debut playing for New South Wales in a 15-run win against Queensland, managing impressive bowling figures of 4/25 from six overs and helping to defend a total of 198.

[22] She earned her first Player of the Match award with the team on 6 February 2020 against Tasmania, taking 2/30 from eight overs and then scoring 48 not out to help chase down a target of 199 with three wickets and 21 balls to spare.

[27] On 7 March, Coyte recorded her second WNCL half-century and highest score in the league, coming in to bat at 5/89 and managing 66 runs off 88 balls, though her team would nevertheless lose the match to Queensland by eight wickets.

[28] In a similar scenario to the previous season, Coyte once again opted against signing with a state team during the 2021–22 contracting period, but Tasmania re-added her to their roster on the eve of the tournament.

[39] At the conclusion of the season, she announced her retirement from domestic cricket at the age of 25, citing a need to seek better balance in her life to combat mental health issues.

[40] During the 2017–18 Australian summer, she occasionally played in local games for Penrith which motivated Sydney Sixers coach Ben Sawyer to approach her about a temporary comeback to top-level domestic cricket.

[41] With South African pair Marizanne Kapp and Dane van Niekerk unavailable for the last few weeks of the WBBL season due to national team commitments, the Sixers signed Coyte as a marquee replacement player.

[43] The following day, playing against the Strikers at Hurstville Oval once more, she was named Player of the Match for her bowling figures of 3/18 from four overs which helped the Sixers to another seven-wicket victory and clinch the minor premiership.

[47] Reflecting upon a whirlwind resurgence, which included ten wickets in four matches at an average of 8.10,[48] Coyte commented that her true personal victory came when she "walked out (onto the ground) at Hurstville" a week earlier.

[50] Speaking about her new two-season contract with the Strikers, she said: "I've been working really hard to find balance in my life over the last year or so and I feel I'm in a great place both physically and mentally.

Finishing with 18 wickets (the equal-most during the regular season) at an economy rate of 6.51, she excelled in the high-pressure death bowling role and was subsequently selected in the Team of the Tournament.

Coyte also recorded the unenviable feat of making a golden duck in her first Test batting innings, though it ultimately proved trivial as Australia went on to win the match by seven wickets.

[62] In the second ODI of the 2012–13 Rose Bowl series on 14 December, Coyte scored her only international half-century and finished on an unbeaten 51 from 54 deliveries to help Australia chase down New Zealand's total of 288 with four wickets in hand.

[65] In the 2014 World Twenty20 final, Coyte took 3/16 from four overs, which included claiming the top-order wickets of Charlotte Edwards and Sarah Taylor, to help restrict England to a first innings total of just 8/105.

Her economical bowling was paired with key breakthrough wickets, dismissing opener Heather Knight cheaply twice and removing Katherine Brunt for 39 (the top score for England in the first innings).

[70][71] In March 2017, Coyte announced her retirement from all forms of international cricket at the age of 25, citing a need to seek better balance in her life to combat mental health issues.

[2] Whilst touring the United Kingdom in 2015, Coyte resorted to excessive alcohol intake: "I'm not proud of it but I was pretty much drunk every night trying to deal with it.

"[85] During a tour of India, she slept three-to-four hours a night and consumed nothing more than Red Bull, protein bars, and the occasional serve of steamed vegetables.
