Black began her career with Glasgow City as a striker, before subsequently converting to defence. She has currently helped the club win seven successive Scottish Women's Premier League titles,[1] adding to a previous success in 2004–05, and has participated in the UEFA Women's Champions League where she became the club's first ever European goalscorer when she netted against Athletic Bilbao, in August 2006.[2]
