Club career
Early career

Born in Carpentras (a commune in the Vaucluse department), she began playing for nearby Football Club Féminin Monteux Vaucluse in the juniors and lower divisions from 1992 until making to the first team in 1997 and leaving the club in the following year.[1][2]

Juvisy

Guilbert moved to FCF Juvisy ahead of the National 1A 1998–99 season.[3] After the creation of the UEFA Women's Cup for clubs in 2001–02, France re-branded the National 1A to Division 1 Féminine (D1). Guilbert helped Juvisy win D1 inaugural season in 2002–03. In the next season she played three matches of the 2003–04 UEFA Women's Cup, scoring against Polish side AZS Wrocław.[4]

Juvisy finished as D1 runners up in 2004–05 and won the French Cup, beating Olympique Lyonnais in the final. After a 1–1 draw, the match was decided on penalty shoot-out, with Guilbert converting Juvisy's sixth shot, on their 5–4 win.[5]

She won the D1 for a second time in 2005–06 and played two matches in the 2006–07 UEFA Women's Cup. She reached the quarter-finals of the 2010–11 UEFA Women's Champions League and the semi-finals of the 2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League.

After eighteen seasons playing for Juvisy, including over 300 matches played in all competitions, Guilbert and Amélie Coquet retired from football at the end of the 2015–16 season.[6][7]

She is one of the longest-serving players at the club alongside Sandrine Soubeyrand.[1]

She played four matches in this tournament and six matches overall.[8]
