In July 2024, Constant was announced as a member of the inaugural roster for DC Power of the USL Super League, bringing her within thirty minutes of her childhood home.[7][8] She was named the club's first-ever captain and starred in 19 matches as DC Power finished second-to-last in the league standings.[8] At the end of the season, the club exercised Constant's contract option.[9] On 14 February 2026, Constant scored her first professional goal, the equalizer in a 1–1 draw with Tampa Bay Sun FC.[10]
