Club career

Sherwood joined Charlton Athletic at the age of 15 after a successful trial following recommendation from Keith Boanas, where she was awarded Player of the Season for the academy in her first season.[3]

After a season with Charlton's first team, Sherwood went on loan to Millwall Lionesses before moving permanently.

She made her first start two months later against Watford.[4]

During the 2016 FA WSL mid-season transfer window, Sherwood left Millwall Lionesses by mutual agreement before signing for her current club Crystal Palace for the 2016–17 season.[5][6]
