Agrež started her career at ŽNK Žalec and joined ŽNK Rudar Škale in the 2014–15 winter break.[3] At Škale, she qualified for the first team at the age of 16 and made her Slovenian Cup debut on 12 March 2017.

She was used in two of the three matches of the first phase where her national team, despite having the same number of points (6) with two wins and one defeat, failed to pass the round due to a worse goal difference than Switzerland and Serbia. She also remained at altitude for the subsequent qualification for the 2017 European Championship in the Czech Republic, taking the field in all six matches of the two phases, where Slovenia got a good performance by closing the elite phase in second position one point from the Netherlands, however not enough to access the final phase.
