In December 2014, she signed a professional contract with ASD Pink Bari in the Italian women's Serie A.[2] In summer 2015 Clelland transferred to UPC Tavagnacco and in 2016–17 was the highest goal scorer in the Serie A, emulating her compatriot Rose Reilly.[3] After her 2017–18 season was disrupted by a heel injury, Clelland joined Fiorentina in July 2018.[4] In her first season with La Viola, the team defeated reigning league champions Juventus to win the Supercoppa, but lost the Coppa Italia final and finished runners-up in Serie A to the same opponents.
Clelland moved to Sassuolo Femminile in July 2021.[5]
