After seven years at Everton, it was announced on 28 November 2013 that Duggan had signed with Manchester City. In August 2015, she became the first female player to receive the club's Goal Of The Season award following an impressive goal against Chelsea in the Women's Super League.

She played in the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in both 2008 and 2010. On Duggan's 18th birthday, she scored the opening goal in England's 2009 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship final win, against Sweden in Belarus.
Duggan completed her first cap for Hope Powell's senior team in England's 3–0 win over Croatia at Bescot Stadium on 19 September 2012.

Personal life
Duggan was a Morris dancer when she was a child and like nearly all of today's professional women footballers, Duggan started playing with boys – for an under-eight team known as the Jellytots. Duggan attended Notre Dame Catholic College and graduated from Loughborough College in 2010.
Duggan is an ambassador for Kick It Out, football's anti-discrimination organisation and the charity Saving Lives.
In March 2014 she apologised after 'blacking up' for a fancy dress party to impersonate Whoopi Goldberg from the film Sister Act. In April 2015 she apologised after posting a picture of herself smiling with Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal, only hours after United had defeated City. Many City fans were disappointed and called for her to be axed from their women's team.
In May 2016, it was reported that Duggan was about to become the first of the England women's football team to reach 100,000 Twitter followers. Duggan commented that, "I like social media and without social media the game wouldn't be where it's at."
