Debinha

North Carolina Courage (2017–2022) Debinha signed with the Western New York Flash of the United States–based National Women's Soccer League on 5 January 2017, days before the franchise announced that it had been sold and would be moved from Rochester, New York, to Cary, North Carolina. Debinha reportedly wasn't informed of the franchise's plans to move when she was signed. She reported to North Carolina and was made a starting midfielder from the start of their season, and scored the Courage's first goal in their home stadium.

Debinha appeared in every regular season game for the Courage in 2017 and scored four goals. She started the semi-final game against the Chicago Red Stars but was forced to leave the game after dislocating her elbow in the 10th minute. This injury forced her to miss the Championship game, which the Courage lost 1–0 to the Portland Thorns.

In 2018, Debinha was named to the NWSL Team of the Month for March. She scored eight goals during the regular season, helping the Courage win their second straight NWSL Shield. Debinha was named to the 2018 NWSL Second XI. During the playoffs, she was in the starting line-up for the semi-final and final. Debinha scored in the 13th minute of the Championship game as North Carolina beat the Portland Thorns 3–0 to win the 2018 NWSL Championship.

During the 2019 season, Debinha played 21 games throughout the regular season and playoffs. During this span, she scored ten goals (eight regular season and two postseason) and tallied seven assists. She was named to the NWSL Team of the Month for July, August, and September. During the first round of the playoffs, Debinha scored the game-winning goal in extra time to help The Courage advance past Reign FC. In the final, Debinha scored the first goal (and eventual game winner) against the Chicago Red Stars, with her performance earning her the Championship Game MVP Award.

She scored a tournament-high three goals in four games of the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup and was named the tournament's MVP, though the Courage placed second to NJ/NY Gotham FC in their division. She scored in five games in a row during the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup, including the opening goal in a 2–1 win against the Kansas City Current in the semifinals. She assisted Kerolin for first goal of the final, a 2–1 victory over the Washington Spirit. She was named the MVP of the tournament for a second time. She scored a team-high 12 goals in the 2022 regular season, good for third in the league, and was named to the NWSL Best XI. She left the Courage at the end of the year.

Kansas City Current (2023–present)

She scored a club-record 9 goals in her first season with the Current, being named to the NWSL Team of the Month three times and the NWSL Best XI at the end of the season.

On 10 November 2025, it was announced that Debinha was one of five finalists for the NWSL Midfielder of the Year award, along with midfield teammate Claire Hutton. Players from the Current made up one-third of all NWSL award nominees.

On 29 July 2026, Debinha scored twice in a 5–1 win over Racing Louisville, equaling Lynn Biyendolo as the NWSL's all-time top scorer with 82 goals in all competitions (including 58 in the regular season, sixth all-time).
