In the UEFA Women's Cup 2005/06 , however, the Scottish women failed in the first round, where they did not win a game. This was followed by an engagement at the capital club Hibernian LFC , where she won the Scottish “domestic treble” in 2006/07 and the cup victory again the following season. In 2009 he moved to the English capital to Arsenal Ladies FC . On her debut in the League Cup final, she immediately scored a goal after being substituted on. In addition, she won the FA Cup final with Arsenal and six days later the championship, which she secured by scoring 1-0 in a direct duel against Everton and thus also the English “domestic treble”. She also contributed to winning the London County Cup with two goals. She then moved back to Scotland and played for Celtic Glasgow , where she was temporarily loaned out, but won the Scottish Women's Premier League Cup in 2010. In July 2015, she signed a contract with Motherwell. In her first game for Motherwell, a 21-0 win over Edinburgh South, she scored 11 goals
