Club career

Kmita began her career at Tottenham Hotspur but spent time in 2012 playing college soccer with Saint Leo Lions and joined Brighton in December 2013.[2] In 2016, having returned to Tottenham, she decided to leave for a second time to focus on her education. After spending 2016–17 in the lower divisions with Cambridge and Gillingham, she signed for FA WSL 2 club London Bees in August 2017.[3]

In October 2017 Kmita joined West Ham United, linking up again with her twin sister Mollie who had played alongside Rosie at most of her previous clubs.[4] When West Ham were awarded an FA Women's Super League franchise in summer 2018, Kmita was one of only two existing players to be retained and offered a professional contract.[5] On 29 May 2019 West Ham announced that Kmita had departed the club.[6]

In August 2019 Kmita rejoined London Bees in the FA Women's Championship.[7]

In October 2020 Kmita signed for Watford in the FA Women's National League South.[8]
