Club career

Ness was born in Durham just after her parents had moved there for work. She came through the youth ranks at Durham Cestria before signing a senior deal with Durham in 2014 as the team entered the FA WSL 2 for the first time. [2]

Ness made 20 appearances across all competitions in Durham's debut season before securing a move to Sweden with Damallsvenskan team Mallbackens IF. She scored three goals in the team's final five league games to help them avoid relegation. [3]

After two seasons in Sweden, Ness made a return to Durham ahead of the FA WSL Spring Series in 2017. In July 2019, Ness announced she was ending her second spell at Durham. [4]

In August 2019, Ness subsequently signed for fellow Championship side Lewes. [5]

Ness signed for Rangers in February 2020. [6]

International

Despite being born in England, Ness is eligible to represent Scotland because both her parents are Scottish. She has played at under-15, under-17 and under-19 level as well as for the senior team. [1]

In 2014, Ness traveled to Norway to compete in the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship with Scotland, scoring in a Group Stage win over Belgium. [7]

Ness was first called up to the senior team for a friendly against Sweden in January 2016 [8] but didn't make her debut for a further two years during a friendly against New Zealand at La Manga on 3 March 2018, before playing a second friendly against the same opposition three days later. [1] [9] Ness scored her first senior international goal on 10 April 2018 in a 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier against Poland. [10]
