Duggan also played in Everton's 2010 FA Women's Cup final win over Arsenal.[7] Her form in the second part of the 2011 FA WSL season led teammate Rachel Unitt to predict a call–up to the senior England squad.[8]
After seven years at Everton, it was announced on 28 November 2013 that Duggan had signed with Manchester City.[9] In August 2015, she became the first female player to receive the club's Goal of the Season award following an impressive goal against Chelsea in the Women's Super League.[10] She was part of the team when Manchester City played in the Women's Champions League for the first time.[11] In November 2016, Duggan scored a noted goal in City's Champions League match with Brøndby.[12]

On 31 July 2019, Duggan joined Atlético Madrid.[15] On January 16 2021 she won her first trophy as an Atlético player appearing as a 2nd half substitute in their 3-0 win in the Supercopa de España Femenina final against Levante. After two seasons, Duggan left Atlético Madrid. She made 55 appearances in all competitions.[16]
On 9 July 2021, Duggan returned to Everton, signing a two-year contract with the club.[17]
In March 2007, 15-year–old Duggan came off the substitute's bench to score on her debut for England Under–17s.[18] She has since represented England at Under–19, Under–20 and Under–23 levels.[2][19] She played in the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in both 2008 and 2010.[20] On Duggan's 18th birthday, she scored one of the two goals in England's 2009 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship maiden final win, against Sweden in Belarus.[21]
Duggan completed her first cap for Hope Powell's senior team in England's 3–0 win over Croatia at Bescot Stadium on 19 September 2012.[22][23] She scored her first international hat-trick in a match against Turkey on 26 September 2013. She scored another hat-trick in England's World Cup qualifying game against Montenegro in April 2014.[24]
In 2015, Duggan was part of England's squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada. The team came third in the competition, securing the bronze medal, and were subsequently congratulated by Prince William at a reception held at Kensington Palace.[25]
Like nearly all of today's professional women footballers, Duggan started playing with boys – for an under-eight team known as the Jellytots.[26] Duggan attended Notre Dame Catholic College and graduated from Loughborough College in 2010.[27]
