Naz rejoined Tottenham later in 2018 and helped Tottenham achieve promotion to the Women's Super League, although she missed the 2019–20 season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[3] She returned from injury in December 2020, and in February 2021, signed a contract extension through June 2022 with an option for an additional year.[3]
In December 2021, Tottenham manager Rehanne Skinner elaborated that she believes Naz could become a more dangerous presence, who is "more than capable of scoring goals on a regular basis".[5]
In March 2022, Naz was named Young Player of the Year at the London Football Awards,[6] beating team mate Esther Morgan in the process.[7] On 30 October 2022, as a substitute in the 2022–23 WSL season, she scored two goals in a humiliating 8–0 defeat for Brighton & Hove Albion.[8]
In February 2023, Naz extended her contract with Tottenham for two and a half years.[9]
On 21 January 2024, as part of the 2023–24 WSL season, and as a substitute, Naz scored a dramatic winning goal in a 4–3 victory over West Ham.[10][11]

Naz received her first senior call-up on 14 May 2024 for the four UEFA Euro 2025 qualification matches played that summer.[27] She was initially only named as a standby player, but was promoted to the full squad following the withdrawal of Lauren James through injury.[28] She made her senior debut on 12 July, coming on as a 71st minute substitute in a 2–1 win against the Republic of Ireland.[29][30]
