Pike rose through the ranks at Chelsea, scoring 14 goals in 17 appearances at youth level, as they finished runners-up in the 2018/19 WSL Academy League season.
In 2019, the 20-year-old moved to Everton Women, signing her first professional contract. She made her senior debut in September 2019 in a 2-0 win against Bristol City Women and scored her first goal for the WSL side in November 2019.
Speaking to LCFC TV, she said: “I’m really happy to finally be here. I’m excited to get started. The facilities here are outstanding, I know Leicester have put a lot into the Club, it just looks like it’s growing really quickly and I want to be a part of that.”
Pike made 21 appearances for Everton Women during her debut season, scoring twice, before joining Bristol City Women on loan for the second half of the 2020/21 campaign. She made 11 appearances for The Robins in all competitions.
An England youth international, Pike has captained the Under-19s side.
