The 24 year-old was born in Aberdeen and played for her home town club before spells at Liverpool, Everton, Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers. She made the switch to Huddersfield in July 2021.

Flaherty was capped at youth level by Scotland but switched to Northern Ireland at senior level and made her senior international debut in March 2019, starting in a 4-0 win over Kazakhstan in the Alanya Gold City Women's Cup.
