Club career

After finishing on the losing side in three SWPL Cup finals and one Scottish Women's Cup final in her early career with Spartans, Ewens moved to Hibernian where she won both those trophies in the 2016 season but struggled to claim a place in the starting line-up, then signed for Celtic in December of that year. [2] She scored 64 goals in 98 appearances for Celtic across the next four seasons (but had disappointment in two further SWPL Cup finals against former side Hibs), before joining Birmingham City for an undisclosed transfer fee in July 2021. [3]

After joining Rangers in 2023, she came off the bench in both the 2024 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup final [4] and the 2024 Scottish Women's Cup final [5] as her team won both trophies, also narrowly missing out on the league title.

International career

Ewens was selected in a senior Scotland squad for the first time in April 2023. [6]
