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.[4]
In October 2022, Khan made her 75th first-team appearance for the Belles. She was the club's longest-serving player.[5] She sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January 2023, while training with her national team.[6]
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.[7] 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.[8]
