Shani David was born on June 7, 1991, in Israel. She began playing football at age 8 with her sister Reut in a children's team of Maccabi Hadera, since there was no women's framework for her then. With that team she won the Fox Kids tournament and traveled to the world tournament in Barcelona.

At 15 she joined Maccabi Kishronot Hadera, starting in the 2006/2007 season. After two seasons she stopped because of torn cruciate ligaments in both knees. She returned for the 2011/2012 season and won the State Cup with the club in 2014/2015.

She was loaned to M.K. Ramat HaSharon from 2016/2017 and won the State Cup there in 2017/2018, despite another knee injury. She later played for Kiryat Gat in Champions League qualifiers, returned to Hadera, played for ASA Tel Aviv in 2023/2024, and signed with Hapoel Ra'anana for 2026/2027.

She captained Israel's under-17 team and played 14 games with 2 goals for the under-19 team. She made her senior debut against Belarus in 2009 and scored in the final as Israel beat the United States at the 2017 Maccabiah Games. She also coaches women's youth teams.
