Hines began playing football at age 8 and eventually joined a local boys' team where she played until the age of 12.[3] She then joined the Reading F.C.'s Centre of Excellence.[3] As a teenager, Hines played for Arsenal Academy and St Albans.[3] At the age of 18, she travelled to New Jersey in the United States where she played for Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) side Millburn Magic.[4] Named to the WPSL's All-East First Team in 2010,[5] Hines also coached the Millburn Magic Under-9 summer select team.[6]
Hines signed with Oxford United in the FAWSL 2 for the league's inaugural season.[7][8] In June 2014, she scored a goal from 40 yards out against Durham helping Reading win 2–1.[9][7] Oxford finished the regular season in ninth place with a 3–12–3 record. Hines made 22 appearances for the club and scored two goals during the 2014 season.[10]
Returning for the 2015 season, Hines scored a brace against Reading leading Oxford United to a draw in April.[11][12] She finished the season with seven goals in 17 appearances.[10] Oxford United finished sixth in the season.
In December 2015, it was announced that Hines had signed a professional contract with Reading F.C. in FA WSL 1. Of her signing, Reading manager Kelly Chambers said, 'I have known of Kayleigh's ability for a long time. It's great to get her signature on the dotted line, she will bring a different dimension to our team that maybe we have been lacking previously."[4]
