Sembrant spent the 2006–07 off–season playing in England with Lincoln Ladies (then known as Lincoln City Ladies).[7] She then moved to AIK in 2008.[8] In November 2010 Sembrant switched to Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC, after becoming captain of AIK.[9] One year later she moved to Tyresö FF.[10]

In 2012 Sembrant was part of the Tyresö team who won the Damallsvenskan championship, but she missed the end of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[11] Tyresö suffered a financial collapse during the 2014 season, withdrawing from the league and letting all their players go. Sembrant secured a lucrative move to French club Montpellier.[12]

International career

Sembrant represented Sweden at all youth levels, then won her first senior cap against England in February 2008.[13] She was withdrawn from the Sweden squad for Euro 2009 through injury.[14]

In 2011 Sembrant was called up to Sweden's squad for the World Cup in Germany.[15] She retained her place in the national selection for the 2012 London Olympics.[16]

On the occasion of Sembrant's 50th cap, she scored Sweden's goal in a 1–1 draw with Canada. The friendly match was staged in Los Angeles in November 2014.[17]
