Club career
Janssen played in the B-Youth team for her first club, RKSV Wittenhorst. In the summer of 2013, she joined SGS Essen of the German Bundesliga. In linking up with Essen she turned down offers from teams PSV/FC Eindhoven and AFC Ajax of the BeNe League. On September 8, 2013 (1st Round), she made her club debut in a 3-3 draw vs BV Cloppenburg in the Bundesliga. She scored her first goal in an Essen jersey on November 3, 2013 (7th Round) in the 5:1 win against Hoffenheim. In 2015, the Dutchwoman signed for English side Arsenal Ladies. This move proved to be fruitful for her with Janssen winning the WSL Cup of 2015 in a 3-0 beating of Notts County by Arsenal.
She once again played in another Cup final the following season, this being the 2016 FA Cup final which took place on the 14th May. The Gooners beat Chelsea by 1 goal to nil in the match at Wembley and were thus crowned champions, earning their fourteenth FA Cup title.
International career
Janssen played for the first time for a Junior selection of Royal Dutch Football Association on 17 March 2010 at the friendly match of U-15 national team against England. In 2012, she was captain of the Dutch U-17 team in the qualifying matches for the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship and also led the team, as captain, in qualifying for the 2013 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. In 2014, she succeeded with her team to qualify for the final round the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Norway, where Netherlands won the title for the first time with 1:0 victory against Spain. Janssen played all five matches in the tournament.
In 2014, she was called for the senior team for the first time, taking part in the Netherlands squad for the 2014 Cyprus Cup. On March 5, 2014 she made her debut, when she came off the bench in the 65th minute at 2:2 against Australia.
