London City Lionesses
In October 2024 she joined London City Lionesses on a 3-year contract. London City manager Jocelyn Prêcheur commented that "she already has brilliant experience and playing at the Under-20 World Cup was a wonderful opportunity for her to learn more. She’s very fast, left-footed, and likes to attack the space behind the defenders."[11]
The club were the first independent women’s team to gain a promotion to the Women's Super League, following a 2-2 victory over Birmingham City at the end of the 2024-25 season.[12]
