In 2019, Rudd returned to former county Sussex and helped them to 3rd in the County Championship in her first season, scoring 135 runs and making 11 dismissals.[3][13] She played four matches for the side in the 2021 Women's Twenty20 Cup, scoring 19 runs and making four dismissals.[14] She again played four matches for the side in 2022 Women's Twenty20 Cup, scoring 37 runs and making two dismissals.[15]

In 2020, Rudd continued playing for Southern Vipers in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in all seven matches as her side won the competition, scoring 81 runs and making 7 dismissals, the second most for a wicket-keeper in the tournament.[18][19] She was again ever-present in the 2021 season, across the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Charlotte Edwards Cup.[20][21] She had the joint-most dismissals in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, with 10 dismissals.[22] She also played for Southern Brave in The Hundred, making 10 dismissals in 9 matches.[23] She played 11 matches for Southern Vipers in 2022, across the Charlotte Edwards Cup and the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, making 14 dismissals.[24][25] She also played every match for Southern Brave in The Hundred, making 5 dismissals.[26]
