On club level Müller played for a number of top teams across Europe, winning league titles in Denmark, Germany and Slovenia.

During her spell at the club, Müller won two league and two national cup titles, as well as the German Supercup title in 2008.
In 2010 Müller signed to Danish club SK Århus to be closer to her partner Nina Wörz, who played for Randers HK that time. However, due to Århus' financial difficulties Müller left the club after one season and eventually joined Randers HK. In the 2011–12 season she led Randers to Danish league title, being the club's top scorer with 124 goals. In the following year she moved to Slovenia to play for RK Krim, but she returned to Leipzig at the end of the season. Müller's second spell at the club lasted for one year, during which period she collected anonther silverware by winning the German Cup. In the summer of 2014 she was signed by Hungarian top club Győri ETO KC as a replacement for Katarina Bulatović.
Müller was part of the German youth setup since the youngest age categories. In youth handball she achieved her biggest success in 2008 when she won the Junior World Championship in Macedonia. With seven goals she was the top scorer of the German team in the final, that stunned favorite Denmark 23–22.
