The Tribeswomen are bolstering their squad ahead of the Women’s Premier Division restart.
GALWAY UNITED HAVE signed Republic of Ireland international Julie-Anne Russell as they look to fill the void left by Bournemouth-bound Gemma McGuinness.
Russell signs for the remainder of the campaign, returning to Eamonn Deacy Park after a spell away from the game on maternity leave. She last played for Galway WFC last season.The 32-year-old has enjoyed a colourful career thus far, earning 59 Ireland caps and the FAI Senior Women’s International Player of the Year for 2014/15. On these shores, she won a league title with Peamount in 2012 and the WNL Player of the Year for 2013/14, while she also starred in Australia.
“It’s a young squad, but the girls have phenomenal talent and have done amazingly in the first half of the season. So, I just want to bring the experience that I have from over the years. I played with a lot of them last year and they were a pleasure to play with, so I’m looking forward to that again.”
The Clonakility native came through the academy at Cork City, winning the U17 League of Ireland with the Rebels in 2020. She impressed upon her breakthrough to the senior team, and went on to spend a six-month spell at Youths.
