Laws first played for Liverpool during the 2013 FA WSL season. She played 9 games and helped her side win the title while battling for a place in the first team with Sarah Quantrill.[1] She then signed for Sunderland on 31 December 2013 going on to make 36 appearances in the WSL. Following Sunderland's denial for a place in the 2018–19 FA WSL she joined Reading.[2] She said in an interview with BBC Sport: "Reading is somewhere I want to personally be and thrive hopefully while I am here".[3] On 8 June 2020, Reading announced that Laws had left the club after her contract had expired.[4] On 7 July 2020, it was announced that Laws had joined recently relegated side Liverpool F.C. Women having previously been on loan to the club in 2013.[5]
Laws was called up by Mark Sampson in 2014 for England's World Cup qualification but was an unused substitute in a 10–0 away win against Montenegro.[6]
