Hartshorn debuted for the Roar in 2011.[2] She later decided to move to Western Australia to study a bachelor of physiotherapy.[3] At the start of the 2015–16 season, she was added to the Fury squad as a replacement for Suzie Bates, who was unavailable due to international cricket commitments.[4] That season, Hartshorn came third among the Fury wicket-takers in the WNCL competition, with six wickets and best figures of 2-24 against her former team the Roar.[3]

Hartshorn was one of the last players to be named in the Scorchers squad for its inaugural WBBL|01 competition (2015–16).[2][5] However, she once again eventually ranked third among her team's wicket-takers, with 13 wickets at an average of 20.38 and an economy rate of 5.76.[3][2] Hartshorn's best figures for the season were 4-23 against the Hobart Hurricanes,[3] and she also captured a particularly memorable wicket against the Sydney Sixers, when Nicky Shaw took a one-handed, diving catch at full stretch to dismiss Sixers player Sara McGlashan from a ball Hartshorn had bowled.[6]

In recognition of her breakout 2015–16 season, Hartshorn was named Female Rising Star at that season's Laurie Sawle medal night.[3]

Hartshorn did not achieve the same prominence during the 2016–17 season. Although she once again took 6 wickets for the Fury in the WNCL tournament,[2] she managed only three wickets for the Scorchers in WBBL|02.[1]
