In the second half of the 2016–17 season, she was transferred by Beşiktaş J.K., which was newly promoted to the First league.[1][5] She enjoyed the champion title of her team in the 2018-19 First League season.[1] She took part at the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League - Group 9 matches.[6][7][8]
