Rytting Kaneryd later represented FC Rosengård and BK Häcken, winning the Damallsvenskan with Rosengård in 2019 and the Svenska Cupen with Häcken. In 2022 she moved abroad to Chelsea.

At international level, Rytting Kaneryd represented Sweden at youth level before making her senior debut against Austria in February 2021.
