Club career.
Khan began her football career at the Leeds United regional talent centre. Khan first wore a Doncaster Rovers Belles shirt in 2017 when she joined the club's development side. In 2018, she joined her teammates in moving to the first-team to compete in the FA Women's National League Northern Premier Division.
In October 2022, Khan made her 75th first-team appearance for the Belles. She was the club's longest-serving player. She sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January 2023, while training with her national team.
In July 2024 Khan signed for Karachi City. She helped the team win the 2024 National Women Football Championship and was named Player of the Tournament. She rejoined the Belles ahead of a 3–1 defeat by Stockport County in September 2024.
International career.
Khan made her international debut for the Pakistan national team on 7 September 2022, against India at the 2022 SAFF Women's Championship in their 3–0 defeat. Khan scored four goals in Pakistan's 7–0 win over the Maldives at the tournament. She scored in the 53rd, 78th and 84th minutes to complete her hat-trick and then again netted the ball in the 89th minute to score her fourth goal. The four-goal haul made her the Pakistan national team's joint-all-time top goalscorer.
She was also included in the Pakistan squad for the 2023 SAFF Women's International Friendly Tournament at Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Following a period of injury Khan returned to the national team for the 2024 SAFF Women's Championship.
