Club career

Arsenal

Dean came through the academy at Arsenal, scoring 37 goals in 20 games in the 2016/17 season with the Development Squad before confirming she was to leave at the end of the campaign in order to seek first team football. [1] She made one senior appearance for the club, making her professional debut on 29 July 2015 in a WSL Cup Group Stage victory over London Bees. [2] Arsenal would go on to lift the trophy. [3]

Millwall Lionesses

In July 2017, Dean joined Millwall on a one-year contract. [4] She led the team in goals, scoring 10 across all competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur

Upon the conclusion of her year at Millwall, Dean moved to Tottenham Hotspur for the 2018–19 season. [5] After scoring six goals in three games, including a hat-trick against her former club, Millwall, Dean was voted FA Women's Championship October Player of the Month. [6] She finished the season as the Championship's joint second highest scorer behind only Jessica Sigsworth of Manchester United as Tottenham won promotion to the FA WSL. Dean was one of 11 players retained by the club ahead of their debut season as a top flight professional team. [7] She was released at the end of the 2020–21 season having not scored during her final campaign with the team. [8]

Liverpool

On 9 July 2021, Dean signed for Liverpool in the FA Women's Championship. [9] Having moved to Merseyside, she scored twice in her opening three games. However, in September 2021, she aggravated the tendon under her foot, an injury that ruled her out for the entire season. [10]

Crystal Palace

Dean was released by Liverpool at the end of the 2021–22 season and subsequently joined Crystal Palace. [11] [12] Her debut for Palace was delayed by the continuing long-term injury, but she returned to scoring form approximately eighteen months after her last competitive goals for Liverpool, with a strike against Birmingham. [13]

Southampton

Following her release by Crystal Palace at the end of the 2022–23 season, [14] it was announced in July 2023 that Dean had signed to play for Southampton ahead of their second season in the FA Women's Championship. [15]
