The FA said Zoe began her career at the age of six at Liverpool Feds. She then spent six years at Everton's Centre of Excellence before moving to Manchester City in summer 2015, where she made her first-team debut in April.
Zoe was part of England youth squads at U15s, U17s and most recently at U19s level, where she was in manager Mo Marley's squad for a training camp at St George's Park earlier this month.
Mo said: "This is truly awful news and we were all so sad to hear of Zoe's passing.
"Zoe has been involved in our squads for a number of years and was not only a very talented midfielder, but a hugely-liked and popular member of the team.
"I know that she will be much missed by her team-mates and staff members alike and I would like to send our deepest condolences to Zoe's family from everyone involved at England."
Clubs including Liverpool Ladies FC, Nottingham Forest LFC, Hull City Ladies, Bradford City WFC and Huddersfield Town Ladies, have all paid their own tributes to Zoe on social media.
Everton FC Ladies manager Andy Spence said: "It is really sad news to hear about Zoe's passing.
"Having worked with her from the age of 12, she was a fantastic person and a really talented footballer.
"She contributed a lot to the club while a youth player and she will be sorely missed. Zoe was always thought of as a really special person and someone who always wanted to do well for the club.
"There are a number of our players who have played with Zoe through the age groups and it is a difficult time for everyone who knew her.
"All of our thoughts are with her family, friends and teammates. As a club, we of course offer our support to anyone who needs it. I know her family personally and whatever we can do as a club for them we will do for as long as they need it.
"Once you play for Everton, you are always a part of our family and that is very much the thoughts of myself and everyone associated with the club."
