Ross won a full set of domestic medals with Glasgow City, and also featured in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
International career
Ross made two appearances for the Scotland U-19 team before a broken ankle derailed her progress at international level. After a lengthy absence, she was surprised to be drafted into the senior team – at left back – for a 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Switzerland at McDiarmid Park in April 2006.
Ross became a national team regular and won her 50th cap against the same opposition in June 2010.
