Club career

Ross grew up in Stenhousemuir and played on boys' teams before, at the age of 15, scoring a record 56 goals in one season for Falkirk Girls. Prior to joining Glasgow City in 2007, Ross spent nine years with Newburgh – who later folded.

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.
