Club Career

Birmingham City Women

Wilkinson made her senior debut in 2013 in the Women's Super League (WSL) for Birmingham City Women. The forward came on from the bench in a 1-1 draw against Notts County Ladies. During the remainder of the 2013 WSL Season, Wilkinson made nine more appearances, three of which were starts. Her first senior goal, and only goal of the season came against Doncaster Rovers Belles. She scored the opening goal in a 3-0 victory away from home.

During the 2014 WSL Season, Wilkinson only made one league appearance, which came against Everton in a 0-0 draw at home. In the Women's Super Cup, Wilkinson made two appearances. One against Yeovil United, where Wilkinson scored the opening goal in a 2-1 win, and one against Aston Villa Women.

Aston Villa Women

During the 2014 campaign, Wilkinson joined Aston Villa women on loan until the end of the season. Wilkinson quickly established herself amongst her teammates, and scored the winning brace against Oxford Women in a 2-1 victory. Aston Villa finished fourth during the 2014 WSL 2 campaign, and Wilkinson's performances meant her time at Aston Villa was extended.

In the summer of 2016, Wilkinson suffered a major injury to her right ankle, where she broke five ligaments. The injury kept her out for the remainder of the season.

Wilkinson made a return for the 2017/18 season, and made five appearances, four coming from the bench. Wilkinson failed to score in any of these appearances.

London Bees

In January 2018, Wilkinson signed for London Bees. In the remainder of the 2017/18 season, Wilkinson made 12 appearances and scored eight goals. Wilkinson's first appearance for her new club came against her former club, Aston Villa, in a 3-3 draw. Wilkinson came on from the bench and clinched the equalising goal in the 90t
