Club career
Harding began her career at Cardiff City and made her first–team debut in January 2007, during a 4–0 Welsh Women's Cup quarter final win over Newport Strikers. Harding came on as a second-half substitute for Gwennan Harries. She subsequently represented the club in the 2007–08 UEFA Women's Cup.
She went on to captain Cardiff City, then joined Bristol Academy ahead of the 2012 FA WSL campaign. Bristol manager Mark Sampson said of Harding: "Tash will really bring another dimension to our forward play, a striker who can play off the shoulder and with great speed was something we were missing last season so it will give us far more variation to our play going forward." At the end of the 2014 season Harding signed for the Washington Spirit, but her move fell through over visa issues and she signed instead for Manchester City.
In January 2016 Harding was sold by Manchester City, who had signed Swedish forward Kosovare Asllani. Later that week she signed for Liverpool.
International career
Harding played five times for the Wales Under–19 team in season 2007–08. She made her senior international debut, aged 19, as a late substitute in a 2–0 defeat to Switzerland in Oberdorf on 8 May 2008.
Harding scored her first goals for Wales on 20 June 2012 in a UEFA Qualifying match against Israel at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham. She scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 win, to cap a fine evening both personally and for her country.
As a student at UWIC, Harding was called–up to represent Great Britain at the 2011 World University Games in Shenzhen, China.
