In 2020, she left Australia to move to Scotland, signing a two-year contract with Scottish Women's Premier League 1 (SWPL 1) club Glasgow City in SWPL after a three-month trial. She was part of the Glasgow squad that became the first Scottish club in history to qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-finals in 2020.[3][4] In April 2022 Colville underwent surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[5] Following the end of the 2023–24 season, Colvill was released by Glasgow City.

In April 2021 Colvill was one of four Irish-eligible players to be invited to a senior Republic of Ireland national team training camp. In the event she suffered an injury and was unable to attend.[9] Ireland coach Vera Pauw called up Colvill again in June 2021 for two friendlies against Iceland.[10] She won her first senior cap in the first game, starting Ireland's 3–2 defeat at Laugardalsvöllur.[11]
