While playing with previous club FC Utrecht she was twice named the Eredivisie's best goalkeeper, in 2010 and 2011.[3] Before Eredivisie's foundation in 2007, she won two Hoofdklasse titles with SV Saestum and had debuted in the top division as a 14-year-old, with ODC Boxtel in 2003–04.[4]

Christ made her final league appearance for Utrecht against PEC Zwolle on 18 May 2012.[5]

In 2012, she joined PSV/FC Eindhoven ahead of the newly created BeNe League.[6] She made her league debut against ADO Den Haag on 24 August 2012.[7]

In June 2013 national team coach Roger Reijners selected Christ in the squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden.[10] She was also part of the Dutch teams of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup[1] and the winning team of the UEFA Women's Euro 2017.[11]

After the 2017 tournament, the whole team was honoured by the Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Minister of Sport Edith Schippers and made Knights of the Order of Orange-Nassau.[12]
