McDougall joined Everton aged 12, and also played youth football for Knowsley and Rainhill United.[2] She continued to play for Everton while attending the National Player Development Centre at Loughborough University[2] and was an unused substitute when the club won the 2008 FA Women's Premier League Cup.[3]
That August McDougall left Everton after 10 years in the team to sign for Sunderland Women in the FA Women's Premier League Northern Division.[4] In her first season at her new club McDougall helped them to promotion and the FA Women's Cup final. Her stoppage-time goal was not enough to win the cup, as Arsenal won 2-1 at Pride Park.[5] In November 2009 McDougall scored the winner as Sunderland beat Arsenal 2–1, only The Gunners' second league defeat in six years.[6]
McDougall scored on her England U16 debut, against Scotland in Dublin.[2] She also played at U18 level[7] then became a regular at U19 level, featuring in the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship.
McDougall made her debut for the senior England team in a 1–0 friendly defeat in Italy on 25 February 2003.[8]
