Epsom Girls' Grammar School

Longo played football at Epsom Girls' Grammar School for their first XI, winning the NZ Secondary Schoolgirls tournament in 2008 with future international teammates Anna Green and Hannah Wall. This was after the team won the Auckland provincial championships unbeaten.[8]

Longo was part of Wynton Rufer Soccer School of Excellence (WYNRS) from 1999–2006.[9]

Melbourne Victory

On 25 October 2019, Longo signed a one year deal with Melbourne Victory to return to the Australian W-League.[10] She made her first appearance for Victory in their 3–2 win over the Brisbane Roar, playing 74 minutes before getting subbed off in the second half.[11] In September 2021, it was announced that Longo wouldn't return to Melbourne Victory for the 2021–22 W-League season.[12]

International career

U-17

She scored New Zealand's first goal at the 2008 inaugural FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup although they were effectively eliminated from contention in the 1–2 loss to Denmark, having previously lost 0–1 to Canada in the opening game.[13]

Longo also represented New Zealand at the 2006 Women's U-20 World Cup finals where she played in all three games.

Longo is the second youngest player to represent any country at a senior FIFA World Cup.[17]
