Huth's career spans top German clubs, domestic cup triumphs, and major international medals.
Born in Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg, she began playing at local club Neckarsulmer SU before joining the youth setup of VfL Sindelfingen. As a youth she featured in regional competitions and development programs affiliated with the German Football Association talent pathways. Early coaches compared her to peers from the Frauen-Bundesliga youth ranks, and she earned call-ups to German youth teams such as the Germany women's national under-17 football team and Germany women's national under-19 football team, participating in tournaments like the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship and the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup cycle.
Huth progressed from VfL Sindelfingen to sign for 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam where she developed alongside players from the Potsdam academy and featured in the UEFA Women's Champions League. At Potsdam she won domestic silverware and gained exposure in European competition. In 2014 she transferred to TSG Hoffenheim, contributing to the club's consolidation in the Frauen-Bundesliga and partnering in attack with teammates who later moved across the league. Her performances for Hoffenheim attracted interest from leading clubs.
In 2018 she joined VfL Wolfsburg, a dominant side in German and European women's football that includes players with backgrounds at Bayern Munich, 1. FFC Frankfurt, and the Germany women's national team. At Wolfsburg Huth won multiple DFB-Pokal Frauen trophies and Frauen-Bundesliga titles while competing in the UEFA Women's Champions League finals. Her club career features appearances in high-profile matches against rivals such as Bayern Munich (women), Eintracht Frankfurt (women), and SC Freiburg (women), and participation in international club friendlies and winter tournaments.
Huth represented Germany across youth levels, including the under-17, under-19, and under-20 teams competing in UEFA and FIFA youth competitions. She made her senior debut for the Germany national team in 2013 and was selected for major tournaments such as the 2016 Summer Olympics squad preparations, the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, and the UEFA Women's Euro 2017 cycle.

Analysts compare her positional versatility to wide attackers who link play for clubs in the Frauen-Bundesliga and tactical systems used by national teams under managers influenced by German coaching figures. She is known for delivering set-piece balls, including corners and indirect free-kicks, and for interchange with central forwards in systems employed by clubs such as VfL Wolfsburg and TSG Hoffenheim.
