Everton

On 28 March 2017, having seen limited minutes for the Reds, Green made the move to their Merseyside rivals Everton in search of more playing time.[1] The following month, she made her Everton debut in a 2–1 defeat against Millwall Lionesses in the FA WSL 2 Spring Series.[4] Green scored her first Everton goal in a 4–0 win against London Bees to help clinch the 2017 Spring Series title.[5]

After the 2017–18 season, Green and Everton mutually agreed to terminate her contract.[6]
