Club career

Fiorentina

Kim was selected in the third round (26th overall) of the 2020 NWSL College Draft by Orlando Pride.[2] Having joined up with the team for preseason, all NWSL activities were shut down just three days in to camp due to the developing coronavirus pandemic.[5] With the ongoing disruption of the 2020 NWSL season and having rehabbed from a knee injury sustained while training over summer, Kim elected to sign in Italy with Serie A team Fiorentina in June.[6] With issues surrounding travel and quarantines, Kim's signing wasn't officially completed until October 17.[7] She made her debut on November 1, starting in a 6–1 victory against second division ASD Riozzese in the 2020–21 Coppa Italia group stage.[8] She scored her first goal for the club on December 13 in a 1–1 Serie A draw with Empoli.[9] Three days later she made her UEFA Women's Champions League debut, starting in a Round of 32 second leg away at Slavia Prague. Fiorentina scored a stoppage time winner to progress 3–2 on aggregate.[10]

Orlando Pride

After a spell in Italy, Kim returned to Orlando Pride for preseason ahead of the 2021 season and signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional year on March 2, 2021.[11] She made her professional NWSL debut for the club on April 10, 2021, as a 78th-minute substitute in the team's Challenge Cup opener against Racing Louisville and scored to give Orlando the lead in the 88th minute. The game finished 2–2.[12] On August 24, 2022, Kim was waived. In two seasons she made 21 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal and two assists.[13]

Bordeaux

In August 2023, Kim signed a two-year contract with French Division 1 Féminine club Bordeaux.[14]

In January 2018, Kim was part of the under-20 team that finished as runners-up at the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, losing the final to Mexico in a penalty shoot-out.[15] In August 2018, Kim was also named to the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup squad.
