Fishley began playing football during her high school years. She was with Leeds United Women F.C. U14, Seacroft Colts AFC U16, Huddersfield Town A.F.C. and Leeds City Vixens before she entered the youth academy team of Chelsea in 2011, where she played until 2013. She was with Davenport Panthers in the United States,[6][4] She then played for the Icelandic club İB Vestmannaeyja in 2018, with the Italian A.S.D.

She scored a hat trick in her first game with Fenerbahçe against archrivals Galatasaray that was the first match of both newly established teams.[9] The friendly match was played under the motto "End Violence Against Women" (Turkish: Kadına Şiddete Son) before the start of the 2021-22 Turkcell Women's Football Super League. It ended 7–0 for Fenerbahçe.[9]
