Club career
Lindner grew up in Kleinostheim and joined 1. FFC Frankfurt aged 16. She won a double with Frankfurt in 1999 before accepting a scholarship in America.
While attending the University of Hartford in 2000, Lindner was named an NSCAA 1st team All-American.
Lindner joined Glasgow City in 2005 after moving to Scotland to complete a PhD in film studies. She quickly established herself as a pivotal member of Glasgow City's strike force and was voted the club's player of the year on two occasions.
When Lindner announced plans to retire from football ahead of the 2011 Scottish Women's Cup final, Glasgow City manager Eddie Wolecki-Black paid tribute to her contribution: "Kat, few would argue, is without doubt one of the finest players ever to play in Scotland and it has been a pleasure working with such a committed and talented athlete. She will be a big loss to our attacking options."
She represented Glasgow City in European competition more often than any other player and held the record for the most European appearances for a Scottish club.
