After a season under Vera Pauw at Dash, Kgatlana headed to China where she joined Beijing BG Phoenix.
A year later she headed to Portugal and joined Benfica. It was a short stay in Portugal, in the covid-interrupted  season, and later that year she joined Eibar.
After a year at Eibar she made the move to Atletico Madrid, where she has starred until this move.
Heading back to the @NWSL with @RacingLouFC SEE YOU SOON! https://t.co/qzmQZ3v4Do
