Kiryat Gat

In the summer before the 2018–19 Ligat Nashim season, Avital joined Ligat Nashim defending champion Kiryat Gat.[2] The club took part in the 2018–19 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round, finishing 3rd in the group.[2] Avital took part in all three matches: a 1–0 loss to Spartak Subotica,[3] a 3–0 loss to Basel,[4] and a 4–4 draw with Breznica in which she scored the second goal.[5] The club ended the domestic season as runners-up to the title, finishing 3 points behind Avital's previous club ASA Tel Aviv,[6] with which they drew 1–1 three rounds before the end of the season.[7]

In October 2019, Avital joined French Division 2 Féminine club Albi.[8][9] She made her professional debut for the club against AS Domératoise in the first round of the 2019–20 Coupe de France Féminine and scored a penalty for the third goal of the 5–0 victory.[10][11] The next week, she made her first league appearance, playing 70 minutes in a 5–0 loss to Issy.[12] She scored her first league goals for the club a couple of months later, scoring a brace in a 2–1 victory over Toulouse.[13] During her season with the club, Avital scored two goals in eight league games and one goal in the two games she played in the Coupe de France.[14]

Return to Kiryat Gat

In January 2021, Avital returned to join Kiryat Gat in Israel's Ligat Nashim due to the stoppage of the European championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They won the double that season, placing first in the 2020–21 Ligat Nashim and winning the 2020–21 Israeli Women's Cup.[1] During the season, Avital scored 6 goals for the club: 3 in the league and 3 in the cup.[15]
