After many years in Lyn, she signed for Kolbotn in January 2020.[2]  After one season in Kolbotn, it was announced in January 2021 that she had signed for Melbourne City in the A-League Women.[3][4]

When the season in Australia was over, she signed for Swedish Eskilstuna United in April 2021.[5]  In December 2022, the contract with Eskilstuna United was terminated after the club was forcibly relegated due to financial imbalance.[6]

On 18 March 2023, Eckhoff officially joined Italian club Inter Milan, signing a contract until the end of the season, with an option for another year.[7][8] On 15 December of the same year, she terminated her deal with Inter.[9][10]

Eckhoff participated for Norway under 15, under 16, under 17, under 19, and under 23 levels.[11]

In August 2022, Eckhoff was selected for the first time on the Norwegian senior national team, as part of Hege Riise's first team squad.[12]

Other endeavors
